It appears Manchester United are a step closer to signing Ronaldinho after the Brazilian picked Old Trafford as his favoured destination.
It appeared Ronaldinho was following David Beckham to the Bernabeu, but once the Spanish club intimated they preferred to make a down-payment with current club Paris Saint-Germain this season and sign him the next, the Brazilian's enthusiasm waned.
He is now waiting for his club and the Premiership champions to thrash out an acceptable fee
Ronaldinho has told his brother Roberto Assis, who acts as his agent, that he has made up his mind about a move to Old Trafford.
Ronaldinho failed to return to the French capital for pre-season training yesterday after the refusal of his club to grant his extra time off following his Confederations Cup commitments last month.
Like Ferguson and United chief executive Peter Kenyon, the star striker has become increasingly frustrated at PSG's failure to conclude a transfer with United.
