So, is it goodbye or good riddance? The papers seem fairly united in their assessment of Ronaldo's move to Real. Yep, he's a first class prat on every conceivable front (Paris Hilton? What on earth is he doing?), but the boy can play football all right.
Personally I'm glad to see the back of him, standing as he does for everything I hate about modern day football and celebrity.
His departure does raise one mouthwatering prospect though. Keep your fingers crossed that Man Yoo draw Real in the Champions League at some point next season - and that Rooney is fit.
Shrek owes Ronaldo big time for getting him sent off in the infamous Winkgate match, but Alex Ferguson did a great job in getting Rooney to count to ten when the two met up for pre-season training a month later.
There'll be no such consideration if they line up on opposite sides for their clubs next year though and don't be surprised if, Taggart being Taggart, Ferguson ends up egging Rooney on to get his revenge once and for all.
I can't wait. Rooney will eat Ronaldo alive (perhaps literally) and, for once, even seasoned ManYoo haters will pat him on the back when he does.

They'll really struggle to find a replacement who'll bag 30+ goals a season.
Wonder how much of the £80m Gin Soak will get to spend on the squad.
Plus he'll have the usual £30m he normally spends close season.
Real madrid are wanting their £80m back from man u after finding out primark area selling big girl blouses for £4
