FIFA to side with Real Madrid over Man Utd "claims"

FIFA have told Manchester United to forget about any action being taken against Real Madrid over their tapping claims of Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Red Devils have already made an official complaint, hoping world soccer's governing body will stop the Spaniards' bid to lure Ronaldo from Old Trafford.

A member of FIFA's executive committee told The Sun: "I think everyone knows that these things go on in football but proving any wrongdoing is next to impossible."

"Real are very powerful and I don't think they'll be too worried about United's claims."
