Cristiano Ronaldo has admitted he made up his mind to leave Manchester United last summer. The Portugal winger looks set to seal an £80 million move to Real Madrid after United accepted a world record bid from the Spanish giants. Madrid conducted a long and public pursuit of Ronaldo last year but it proved ultimately unsuccessful as the 24-year-old remained at Old Trafford. But despite staying in the Barclays Premier League, and helping United retain their title, Ronaldo claims he made up his mind to leave after the Champions League triumph over Chelsea a year ago. The fact Madrid have not won the Champions League since 2002 - and are currently comfortably only the second best team in Spain behind Barcelona - has led some critics to claim Ronaldo is more interested in money than medals.
