No player is or ever will be worth £100,000,000!!!
I dont think they will be buying the player for £100 million mate, they will be buying everything that comes with it. Ronaldo is a world brand now more than a player, you wouldnt even begin to imagine the money he would make them back. Take in ticket sales, merchandising (how many shirts do you think they will sell each season he is there with his name on it???), not to mention the trophies he can win them.
I think they will need that kind of money to lure him away, as thats what'll it take. As this is exactly what Manchester United are getting from him besides the magnificent football. You have to think outside the box when looking at things such as this.
Take L.A Football, the media coverage they received when signing Beckham, not to mention a ridiculous soar in shirt sales which was ridiculous almost paid for the Beckham signing alone. So remember football is business, and they are bidding on more than just the player.
Don't forget the insurance policy they also take out, even if he gets injured they're quids in also.
