Manchester United have discussed which players they could sign with the money from the possible sale of Cristiano Ronaldo, according to Marca.
Sir Alex Fergsuon held his first meeting with club officials since returning from holiday and the subject of the Portuguese star was discussed openly.The report in Marca, which has been at the forefront of the push for Ronaldo to join Madrid, appears to be designed to reassure Madrid fans in the light of the club's possible failure to land their man.Ronaldo is still on holiday and the club are refusing to ring him to discuss the situation for fear of it being conceived as a sign of weakness, the story states.If he were to leave, then the first player that would be approached is Dimitar Berbatov, who Tottenham would let leave for a starting price of €35m.Despite claims in England that the north London club are loathe to sell to United, Marca have rehashed the Red Devils' interest as the pressure mounts on a deal for Ronaldo being done.The exit of Berbatov would, in turn, allow Juande Ramos to then make higher bids for Samuel Eto'o or David Villa, despite the former claiming he did not want to go to Spurs and the latter set to stay with Valencia.Marca are convinced that United will continue to put on a brave face until they realise that Ronaldo is determined to leave.Madrid president Ramón Calderón has made the player his main aim this summer and his reputation, despite two league titles, could hang on succeeding in this bid.After promising to sign Cesc Fàbregas, Kaká and Arjen Robben, the arrival of only the injury-prone Dutchman has left many Madrid fans disgruntled with him.
