CR Not For Sale

Manchester United Chief executive has reassured Red Devils fans that they will not be tempted into selling Cristiano Ronaldo – even for a world record fee.

The 22-year-old is not only one of the most talented but also one of the most marketable players in world football, so it is no small wonder that rumours of an impending blockbuster transfer to the likes of Real Madrid pop up with unnerving regularity for the likes of United fans.

The English champions have always been quick to pour cold water on such reports, however, and Gill has once again insisted that United are not in the business of selling their best assets for profit.

“There’s no chance of us selling him. Absolutely no way, whatever the money.

“He signed a new contract last season to 2012 and we are not a selling club. Alex Ferguson has never let a player go when he was not happy to do so.

“Cristiano is happy here. Alex and Carlos Queiroz know his mind and what he’s about.

“Everything about him is Manchester United. He’s like George Best, Eric Cantona.

“You can’t sell players like that and we are not going to sell players like that.”
