Cristiano Ronaldo wants £170k per week to stay at Manchester United

Cristiano Ronaldo's agent flew in for talks with Manchester United yesterday - to find out if the Portuguese star is in for a new contract and a pay rise.
Jorge Mendes wants to talk about a deal that would see Ronaldo get around £170,000 a week just a couple of months after turning down a move to Real Madrid.
However, United are reluctant to give Ronaldo a new deal so soon, with chief executive David Gill believing their star is already firmly under contract.
Ronaldo signed a five-year deal in April 2007 and is on around £120,000 a week. But an improved contract would lead to the likes of Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney demanding hikes, too.
Mendes wants to know United's thinking and planning after the two camps declared an uneasy peace after the summer.
United are aware the threat of Real Madrid remains despite the Spanish club's statements to the contrary.
