His petulant outburst when he was substituted during the Derby match and his critism of Ferguson's tactics for the Champions League Final looks to have sealed the deal.
He joins a long list of "Champagne Charlie's" that have been shown the door during Fergie's reign.
McGrath, Ince, Robson, Strachan, Bosnich, Kanchelskis, Stam, Beckham, Heinze and Ruud van Nistelrooy to name just a few who have crossed swords with him in the past.
3 of the above went to Madrid. Ronaldo will be the 4th.
United will carry on business as usual only £80 million better off. And all the money is said to be available for new players.
My shopping list would begin with Ribery and his fellow Frenchman Benzema.
I've had my eye on Benzema since United played Lyon in the Champions League a few years ago. I'd love him to join United. In my mind he's the new Zidane.
