Man Utd Paving The Way For Ronaldo Exit With Latest Signing?

Dimitar Berbatov was last season a target of Sam Allardyce (then Newcastle boss), but his transfer fee was always going to be out of our reach.

There was hope for a spell when the Spurs striker told the media (as a kid) he used to go to bed wearing a Newcastle shirt with Alan Shearer's name on the back, and he would be happy to step into his hero's boots at St James' Park.

An initial bid by Man Utd of £20m was rejected and it was then reported that United would make a £28m take-it-or-leave it offer ... which we believe was enough for Spurs to sell.
