Man Utd boss Fergie turned down Ronaldo offer

Ronaldo is set for crunch talks with Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti today.
A meeting is scheduled for 9:00am at Moratti's office in Milan's city centre. It will be the first time the two have spoken face-to-face since Ronaldo's return from Brazil last week.

The Brazilian ace still maintains he wants to leave the nerazzurro and Moratti knows Ronaldo faces a massive task of winning back the loyalty of Inter's tifosi.

Over the past 24 hours, Inter have explored alternative exits for Ronaldo, in case Real Madrid decide against making a final offer.

According to AS, Manchester United and Barcelona were sounded out yesterday. United boss Sir Alex Ferguson reportedly turned down the approach, believing Ronaldo could not fit into his team's system. Barca are also cool, with the club not having the funds to bid for the player.

Adding a further twist is news that Ronaldo has reportedly had a spat with his advisors, including agent Alexandre Martins. He is concerned that different representatives are contradicting eachother in their public statements - which is adding further tension to his relationship with Inter's supporters.
