As Manchester United supporters brace themselves for Cristiano Ronaldo to leave the club for a second time, there may be a sense of deja vu around the forward.
Ronaldo has told the club he wants to leave after failing to qualify for the Champions League, with Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain among the potential destinations. Last season's top scorer has not joined his teammates in Thailand for their pre-season tour, with family reasons keeping him in Europe, but it remains to be seen whether he has played his last game in United colours.
Real Madrid was the destination 12 years ago, with Ronaldo joining the Spanish giants in an £80m move. And, just like this year, there was plenty of bad blood around the move before it was finally and officially confirmed in July 2009.
