Man Utd Transfers: 5 World Class Players Fergie Must Buy To Win Champions League

1. Cristiano Ronaldo

Okay, unlikely at best. Sir Alex Ferguson, whilst admitting he would "love" to re-sign the former Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year winner, said in almost the same breath* "I don't see it." United will welcome back their prodigal son in the New Year, but unfortunately for them, he will be lining up in the radiant white of Real rather than the Red of United. Perhaps a move for him wouldn't be quite so outrageous given his ties with the club where he spent a successful six years, as well as with his relationship with Ferguson - who he has often credited for helping to turn him into the player he is today. In 2011, rumours surfaced that Real would put Ronaldo on the market after a sensational bust up with manager Jose Mourinho**. Further reports appeared earlier this month that Mourinho would indeed be leaving the club next June.*** Could he be bringing Ronaldo with him? Probably not, but heck, United fans are allowed to dream. Source(s): * Sky Sports, ** Daily Mail, *** The Guardian What do you think United fans? Would you be happy to see the five players above at Old Trafford?
