I wouldn't be too quick to proclaim him as hands down the world's best as it changes from season to season. One of the best in the world no doubt, but there's a couple others that come to mind who are right on his level. Anyway, your right united didn't need the money and would have been fine with the team they had with him, but the fact is he hasn't really wanted to be there over the past couple years and they sold him at his peak value which was a smart move on their part. Ronaldo is a world class player and one of the best of this generation, but 130 million dollars will buy united 3-4 very good players who they can now add their team thus they may in fact be a better team when all is said done. Let's wait and see who they bring in and what they decide to do like i said before. Real Madrid has tried to buy their way to championship before and failed miserably.
