Manchester United Prepared to Pay Ronaldo $200K Per Week

The Premiere League's first $200,000 a week player:  That will be Cristiano Ronaldo should Manchester United go through with plans to offer up such a hefty sum to the winger.

United hope the record £10.4million- a-year contract will stop the Portuguese winger from joining Real Madrid, according to a report in the News of the World.

A Portuguese source close to the player to NOTW: "Cristiano wants to clear his head of the Real Madrid move once and for all. When he agreed to stay at United last summer he thought it would be just for one more year.

"But now he seems to be setting his mind on the long term because he realises he can fulfil all his ambitions at Old Trafford."

Manchester United was currently listed with odds of 4/1 to win the 2009 Champions League outright.  Compare that with the 25/1 odds offered up on Real Madrid winning at Sportingbet.com
