Cristiano Ronaldo is officially leaving Manchester United after a long year of ‘what ifs’. His new contract with Real Madrid is reportedly worth $153.2 million. That’s allot of money for a young soccer player. So it begs the question, who will replace Cristiano in Manchester U. striker lineup? Well they have found someone already.
Wigan's Antonio Valencia signs new deal with Manchester United worth $32 million.
Reports today are that Antonio Valencia has signed a deal with Manchester United for a reported four year $32.5 million. That’s way less than what it would have cost to keep Cristiano. So the real question right now is whether or not Antonio will be able to par Cristiano’s past performance. Not easy considering he was named best player by FIFA last year winning the golden ball award.

this article is a joke. seriously.
“That’s way less than what it would have cost to keep Cristiano”
erm, unless he actually wanted to leave, cause playing at madrid is his boyhood dream? 80 million is a lot to turn down for an obviously unsettled player.
by the way, work on the grammar.
