The Van Gaalaticos: Man Utd will bid for Cristiano Ronaldo, says Van Gaal

Cristiano Ronaldo: Man Utd move possible, says Van Gaal

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal would like to sign Cristiano Ronaldo but does not expect Real Madrid to sell.

The 29-year-old has been linked with a return to Old Trafford, having left in 2009 for a then-world record £80m fee.

Asked about re-signing the Portugal international forward, Van Gaal said: "It is possible.

"Players like Ronaldo give a lot of extra to a team, but I don't think Real Madrid shall sell him."

Ronaldo, the world footballer of the year, helped Real Madrid become champions of Europe for the 10th time last May.
