Manch, United will make a offer for 17yr Cristiano Ronaldo

[Frank Cunha]

Cristiano Ronaldo a 17 yr old Portuguese and Sporting starter,made a big impression starting for Sporting in the UEFA Cup against Partizan, leaving the field when Sporting was still winning 3-1. He put such a show that Manchester United send a immediately fax, that will be a representative in Lisbon from Manchester United Saturday morning.
Sporting got a offer by Inter that will include a long contract, with the first two years, he will still be on loan with a Sporting team.

Sure all these reports are accurate?

Certainly united are always looking for the best young talent but I doubt we'll be breaking the bank.

[Frank Cunha]

17 year old Cristiano Ronaldo just dribble pass three defenders, including the goalie, and scorer's the second goal for Sporting. Manchester and Juventus scouts in attendance.

Yanks never will ever get the hang of English humour - one of the reasons Eric & Ernie and others never made it in the colonies.

Sporting directors to leave for England for a meeting with Manchester United, I believe a deal its been reach. You guys have to thank Carlos Queiros they not going to get one a 17 year old striker Ronaldo, but two the next Figo of Portuguse soccer, Quaresma.
The deal call's for the players to continue playing in the starting team of Sporting I believe for one more year.
Thanks to Carlos Queiros, the Italian teams like Juventus and Inter wouldn't going to get this players.

Quaresma e Ronaldo aguardam protocolo

As eventuais transferências de Ricardo Quaresma e Cristiano Ronaldo para o Manchester United poderão ter um avanço decisivo aquando da deslocação dos dirigentes da Sporting SAD a Inglaterra.


Os dirigentes leoninos têm encontros marcados com responsáveis do Manchester United para amanhã e quinta-feira, no sentido de estabelecer um protocolo de cooperação. O interesse pelas duas «jóias» leoninas há muito é conhecido em Alvalade, mas as partes terão agora oportunidade de conversar mais aprofundadamente sobre o assunto.

«A BOLA» sabe que os dois jogadores estão referenciados numa perspectiva de médio/longo prazo, pelo que as hipóteses de Quaresma se transferir em Janeiro para Manchester são ínfimas. O jovem é um sonho antigo dos ingleses e o desejo por Ronaldo foi despertado, precisamente, pelas observações ao número 20, uma vez que coincidiram com a altura em que o madeirense começou a mostrar-se.

No entanto, não é só de Inglaterra que surgem interessados. Através do seu prospector Luís Suarez, o Inter de Milão esteve sábado em Aveiro a assistir ao encontro Beira-Mar-Sporting, na companhia do empresário Jorge Manuel Mendes.

A imprensa italiana tem publicado diversas notícias sobre os dois jogadores, mas a maior vantagem parece estar no lado de Cristiano Ronaldo, cujas qualidades, aos 17 anos, maravilham os responsáveis do clube italiano.

Não é de descurar, no entanto, a perseguição que a Juventus tem movido aos dois jovens, com observações constantes, quer nos encontros em casa quer fora de Alvalade, como aconteceu em Aveiro.
