United finally completed the first signing of this summer as Wigan's Antonio Valencia finally signed a four-year deal with a fee reportedly to be around £16 million. Despite facing competition from Real Madrid, United were the winner to grab the Ecuadorian winger after losing their World Player of the Year to Real Madrid.
"Joining Manchester United is a dream come true for me. I have enjoyed my time at Wigan, but I am thrilled to have the chance to challenge for the biggest honours in club football here. Playing in front of 76,000 fans alongside players like Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs will be an amazing experience. I can't wait to get started."
Welcome Antonio!
On the other hand, United have confirmed that Real Madrid have formally completed Ronaldo's move by paying £80 million in lump sum. What a huge profit! Perhaps we should make another Ronaldo to break the record in future. Despite being a controversial figure in United, Ronaldo was hailed by Fergie as one of the greatest player in United history.
"Cristiano has been a marvellous player for Manchester United. His six years at Old Trafford have seen him develop into the best footballer in the world. His contribution has been a major factor in the club's success in that time and his talent, his ability to entertain and his infectious personality have enthralled fans the world over. Everyone here wishes him well in his future career."
Goodbye Cristiano!
