Man United accept Ronaldo bid
Manchester United have accepted an £80million bid from Real Madrid for Portugal winger Cristiano Ronaldo.

The statement continued: "At Cristiano's request - who has again expressed his desire to leave - and after discussion with the player's representatives, United have agreed to give Real Madrid permission to talk to the player.
"Matters are expected to be concluded by 30 June. The club will not comment until further notice."
