Real Want Cash plus Chicharito for Ronaldo's United Return

Real Madrid will demand Mexican striker Javier Hernandez in any cash-plus-player deal for former United ace Cristiano Ronaldo.

Manchester United had hoped to tempt the Los Blancos with an offer of £65million plus Nani.

But The Whites want Chicharito and are set to bid £25m even if a deal for CR07 falls through.

French powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain have already bid £80m for Ronaldo — the fee United sold him for in 2009.

And EPL champs United are one of the few clubs that could afford the 28-year-old superstar.

Yesterday they reported record income of more than £92m for the first three months of 2013.

And while vice-chairman Ed Woodward claims there will be no overhaul of the squad,

United are encouraged by Ronaldo’s liking for a return to the Theatre of Dreams if he does leave Real Madrid.

Hernandez could seal the deal but the Red Devils boss Alex Ferguson wants to hold on to the Mexican.

Fergie knows his striker’s disappointment after only seven league starts this campaign.

But he said: “There is no reason to think this is not the place for him.

“We hope he feels he has made a contribution.

“He has scored 16 goals and his enthusiasm to play is always there.”

United is also linked with swoops for Polish striker Robert Lewandowski and Atletico Madrid’s Radamel Falcao.
