Michael Bridges has said on Twitter that Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United potentially signing Daniel James from Manchester United is a bigger news story than Cristiano Ronaldo moving to Old Trafford.
United have announced on their official website today that they have completed the signing of Ronaldo from Juventus.
The Red Devils have stated that they have re-signed the Portugal international forward on a two-year contract with the option to extend for a further year.
One player who could leave United on summer transfer deadline day is James.
Sky Sports have reported that the winger is undergoing the second part of his medical at Leeds.
Leeds have reportedly agreed a £25 million deal with Premier League rivals United for the transfer of the winger.
Bridges is a former Leeds player, and the Englishman has said that Ronaldo joining United today is not as big a news story as James potentially moving to Elland Road.
Ronaldo is one of the biggest names on the planet and is one of the best players of all time.
United completing the signing of the former Real Madrid star is headline-making news all over the world.
However, Leeds and United are bitter rivals, and not many Elland Road faithful will be too bothered about Ronaldo moving to Old Trafford.
Leeds fans will be more excited about James joining the club.
