Real Madrid Give Up On Manchester United And Ronaldo AGAIN !!

Real Madrid’s sports director Pedja Mijatovic has hinted the Spanish giants have given up on trying to sign Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo for now.

The La Liga outfit chased the Portuguese winger all summer and the 23-year-old was initially tempted to move to the Bernabeu after winning the Champions League and Premier League with United last season.

But Ronaldo decided to stay at Old Trafford and Mijatovic says he doubts Real will renew their interest in him.

Mijatovic told AS: 'He is a professional who was trained in Manchester, who owes much to the club and (manager Sir Alex) Ferguson.
'He never said clearly: 'I want to go to Madrid'.

But at least now, finally, it's all over and we can look forward to CR7 winning the FIFA World Player Of The Year now. He does have a very, very good chance according to the great Eusebio. The Portuguese legend is certain Cristiano Ronaldo will scoop the FIFA world player of the year prize in December.

Ronaldo is expected to start his first Champions League game since last May's final triumph over Chelsea in Moscow when Manchester United tackle Danish minnows Aalborg looking to record their first win of the current campaign.

The 23-year-old has only just returned from ankle surgery but already he has shot to the top of United's goalscoring charts, netting against Middlesbrough before taking advantage of Rob Styles' generosity by converting the Red Devils' controversial penalty in Saturday's win over Bolton at Old Trafford.

Mijatovic: "Real Madrid's Bid For United's Cristiano Ronaldo Was No Failure".

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water Real Madrid and their bizarrely ill informed Sports Director Pedja Mijatovic are at it again. Talking about Ronaldo. Guess who they were "talking" to ? You got it, good old Marca !!!

"Real Madrid did not "fail" in their bid to land Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo", insists sports director Pedja Mijatovic.

Mijatovic told Marca: “We had a big wish to sign him and our economic situation would have allowed it but we met with Manchester United and they didn’t want to speak about him and, when it’s like that, there’s nothing you can do.

“I don’t think it was a failure not to have signed him. We did everything possible to make him come.

“If Cristiano had had a release clause he would be here.”

Do these idiots ever shut up and let the past go ?
