Cristiano Ronaldo has spoken for the first time since Manchester United accepted a bid of €93 million from Real Madrid for him, declaring that it is "very flattering" for him.
The Portuguese star is currently away on holiday in America but told Fox Sports that "it's flattering when two of the top teams in the world want you to play for them."

With regards to the deal itself, Ronaldo revealed that he did not know actually at the time that United had accepted the bid.
"I learned about the deal here in L.A. and have heard from my people that Manchester United has accepted. However I have also been told that Madrid want to have a medical team look at me as expected," he said.
