Ronaldo has such difficult choices to make, insists Beckham the diplomat

13 April 2012

David Beckham believes Cristiano Ronaldo has an 'incredibly difficult choice' to make between staying at Manchester United or joining Real Madrid.

Ronaldo, who has this summer spelt out his 'dream' of playing for the Spanish
giants, has agreed with Sepp Blatter's claim that there is 'modern slavery' in the transfer market.

'I agree with the comments of the president of FIFA. What he said is right,' the 23-year-old winger told Portuguese channel TVI.

When last they met: Beckham and Ronaldo at the 2006 World Cup quarter-final

Beckham, who swapped the north west for the Spanish capital in 2003, believes United are every inch the equals of Real.

'When I left Manchester United the only other club I wanted to play for was Real Madrid,' added the England midfielder.

'Living in Madrid and playing for Madrid - there's not many better clubs than that apart from Manchester United, which is equal. But to have those two choices is good for him.'

'Playing for Manchester United was my dream but so was playing for Real. It was an incredibly difficult choice to make and I'm sure it is the same for Cristiano.'
