Carlos Tevez has risked incurring the wrath of Sir Alex Ferguson by claiming Cristiano Ronaldo should be sold to Real Madrid.
Real’s pursuit of the winger has been the main transfer story of the summer, and their very public interest has led United to slam the door on any move, stating that he is not for sale.
Ronaldo has a long-term contract at United and has been urged to honour that by all inside Old Trafford, but Argentinean striker Carlos Tevez believes that if it is the player’s wish to move on, then that should be honoured.
“The [United] team has great players, including Cristiano Ronaldo, of course,” Tevez told AS.
“It’s clear that he is a very important player for us, but this is a personal decision, which is up to only him.
“I understand Cristiano. Every footballer wants to play at Real Madrid. On the other hand, I also think that everyone wants to play for Manchester United, but if what he seeks is something else, I think that should be respected.
“I have not talked to him, but when these things happen, neither side feels good.”
