Manchester United have accepted a bid of £80 million for Cristiano Ronaldo, from Real Madrid, the team he was linked to last summer. This news comes just a couple of weeks after Ronaldo told the world he wasn't going anywhere. That said, his signing on fee alone would mean never having to kick a ball again.
