Ronaldinho drops Real hint
Brazil World Cup star Ronaldinho has hinted he could choose Real Madrid ahead of Manchester United this summer.
The 23-year-old looks certain to leave French club Paris St Germain after the forthcoming Confederations Cup, with Real and United leading the chase.
Ronaldinho claims he would love to join either side, but suggested that the Bernabeu might be his preferred destination.
He told Spanish newspaper Marca: 'All I can say is that right now I am working hard to play for one of Europe's big clubs, and Spain would be very attractive for me.
'There are a lot of teams I like watching, but above all I like the teams where my friends play. I admire Ronaldo and Zidane and I enjoy watching them.'
Real already have Ronaldinho's countrymen Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos and Flavio Conceicao in their star-studded squad.
While right-wing specialist Beckham had become an increasingly peripheral figure at Old Trafford towards the end of the season, Ronaldinho's versatility in attack makes him an obvious transfer target for Red Devils' boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
The former Gremio star explained: 'I have been able to adapt positions. I have no problems playing in one position or another.
'I have already played on the right, on the left, as a striker or in a deeper role, so there's no problem. The most important thing is to play and enjoy it.'

If this goes ahead, they'll have Beckham, Ronaldinho, Zizou, Figo, Raul, Ronaldo
