United have Real Tap-Up Evidence

The Sun, a British tabloid newspaper, has managed to get hold of photos of a secret meeting which sees Cristiano Ronaldo being tapped up by Real Madrid staffin January of this year!

The pictures, which clearly show Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid fitness coach Valter di Salvo, are expected to be added to Manchester United's dossier to FIFA.

The meeting happened when Cristiano claimed he was off for a 'break' in the Italian capital of Rome. He then met up with the Real Madrid man, who is sure to have told Cristiano all about how thingsare going at the Bernabeu, and that he was desperatley wanted.

There is an added twist in that Valter di Salva used to be at United up until last summer, when he too was poached by Real - and the Manchester United backroom staff, including Assistant Manager Carlos Queiroz, have not spoken to him since.

Ronaldo looks a touch shifty in the photos, and probably doens't realise that the Press have been following his every move, as has Sir Alex, who has monitored the movements of his younger players ever since he took over at United in 1986!
