EPL: Man Utd create extra January spending money with Ronaldo release

Manchester United have created extra funds for the January market after the release of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo was cut loose by United last month after a critical interview with Piers Morgan.

The Manchester Evening News says releasing Ronaldo without any pay-off has handed United an extra £18m in spending money for the January market.
