Use the money to buy a world class centre mid. Maybe Ribery as repalcement too?
United have accepted an offer, on their website.

Fixed the link there.Originally Posted by DmanDmythDledge
Yeah Ribery would be a good replacement. A world class forward is needed as well, someone that stands in the box like Van Nistelrooy used to, because Ronaldo's goals will be badly missed.
Christ football gets more obscene every year.
Roddy Collins, the biggest <insert as appropiate> in Irish Football.
Fcuking hell!!! Not all that surprised. How much will they have to pay for Ribery though
Rooney will be delighted, he might get a pass now
or get to play up front, in his natural position
Man Utd had to sell him this year , well done, good deal
I think they can save 6 million a year on wages as well - or am I wrong?
Now they can buy a few decent midfielders, and another striker.
Ribery will be a man utd player next season?
Good point alright. Rooney is a striker, not a winger. Hopefully Fergie will see that now.
As a United fan I'd be a bit sad to see him go, don't get me wrong I think he is a tw*t but between what he scores and what he creates your gauntedd 50+ goals a season.
However £80 million is a good deal, Ribery would be a great replacement and if he is permitted fergie should purchase an out and out goal machine,somone who will gaurntee 25+ goals a season(but can't think of anyone who be avialable to buy) If not he should get a world class centre midfeilder who is at most 27-28 to replace Scholes who is getting on in years now

Really hope Ribery doesn't join Man U...he's one of the best wingers I've ever seen. He's a class act through and through and I think he'd give a lot more to the side than Ronaldo.
I don't think Ribery would cost so much. Probably a bit more than Hargreaves did, which was around £17m.
They need a couple of central midfielders really. Like you say Scholes isn't what he was and Hargreaves looks like he won't make it back. They are their two best midfielders really and both need to be replaced.
Ribery is a good player alright but some of the valuations of him seemed a bit high. They are sure to win the team ugly competition if they get him anyway!!
Forlan???
My Goal Is To Deny Yours...
laugh all you want; he won the golden boot
how much of a joke would it be if they brought him back!!!

Ribery wont go to united because england has the same weather as germany and he wants to play in a hotter climate according to him!
what fergie needs to do is bid 30m for fabregas. arsenal are struggling financially imo and would snap at that offer and plus its a chance for a fustrated fabregas to win medals again! scholes giggs vandersar neville and hargreaves need to be replaced, big year for fabio and tosic to step up!
roddy collins should be a comedian!!
Given the financial strife that Liverpool's owners are in, Torres.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
Ribery will cost a heck of a lot more than 17m, didn't they just quote Real 100m or something stuipid like that
I think Ronaldo is a moaner and a cheat. However he is a fantastic player and don't know how they are going to replace him.
Everyone will quote stupid prices to Real Madrid!
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
On the face of it this look slike an excellent peice of business but are there really any viable players out there to replace him??
Ribery??Without a shadow of a doubt the best possible replacement united could hope for but i think he has already stated that he has no desire to play in England - he would also cost at least 35 million i would imagine.
David Villa??Rumours strife in Spain that he will complete a move to Real next week
Benzema??I lived in France for a year and this is probably the only player i can think of in World football that is rated higher outside his country then within.
Also what World class centre midfielders are available at the moment??I cant think of any.
Looks good business but i dont believe there are any able replacements out there and i would be very suprrised if united started next season a stronger team then last.
As a United fan i will sorry to loose a player of Ronaldo's class and he will be very hard to replace, but he no longer wanted to play for United so i think it is a fantastic piece of business by United. 80 million is a serious amount of money and will allow United to bring almost any player they want. A lot of comments have mentioned players and if they are available, most clubs will come out and say there players are not available put money talks.
Ribery is the name being mooted in most quarters as Ronaldo's replacement and going on what we are all reading from various sources he will sign, even the bookies have slashed his odds on joining United. Fantastic player with real world class quality and would more than fill Ronaldos boots, will he score as many goals or create as many chances though ?
Valencia from Wigan is another name being mentioned, excellent young player with plenty of pace and skill. More of a squad player than anything but still could do a very good job for United.
Personally i think United need a world class central midfielder, this is were they were found out last season. Again most top players and their managers will say they are not available but if they money is good enough then anybody is available. SFA has always been a big fan of Xavi, a player of his calibre would make all the difference to United pursuit of the Champions League, but they would need to spend at least 30+ million to secure his services. The same would go for Fabregas.
With Ronaldo leaving with SFA go back to a 4-4-2 now ?
