Why? To pack?

Guardian:

"Ronaldo already seems to have made up his mind that his time in England is all but done. The 21-year-old expressed a strong desire last week to join Real Madrid, much to the irritation of Sir Alex Ferguson, and when asked whether a deal had been completed behind the scenes he smiled again and, choosing his words carefully, answered: "I like Real Madrid. We'll see after the World Cup."

He was asked why he was smiling and it was put to him that his body language suggested he knew more than he was letting on. "We have to sign it first, then I will talk to you after the World Cup," he replied. "As I say, I like Real Madrid. Do I want to leave Manchester? I don't know. Maybe."

His confidence about becoming a Madrid player may partly explain why he was not worried about having to explain himself to Rooney and the possible reaction were he to remain in the Premiership next season."
