Ronaldo would cost at least £80m, if not more. With van Gaal seemingly determined to sign AS Roma midfielder Kevin Strootman above anyone else, even if he does cost around £75m as has been suggsted, there simply isn’t the money for Ronaldo. Yes United already have Ander Herrera and Daley Blind who basically do the same job, but van Gaal NEEDS Strootman.
