Valencia midfielder Hugo Viana revealed that Portugal teammate Cristiano Ronaldo definitely wants out of Manchester United at the end of the season. Viana, a former player at Newcastle United, told the Spanish media the winger "will leave within little time" and move to a club "more important than United."

During last week's friendly between Brazil and Portugal at Emirates Stadium in London, Barca sporting director Txiki Begiristain was spotted talking to Ronaldo's agent, Jorge Mendes. Of course, both deny discussing a possible move for the player.

The Guardian report also added color to the Barcelona situation, claiming that infighting between players and coaches is worse than the Catalan is leading on. Aside from launching a tirade on Tuesday against Coach Franck Rijkaard and striker Ronaldinho, striker Samuel Eto'o said Barca is a team with "two sides at war," where Ronaldinho and Eto'o find themselves on opposing sides. Eto'o told reporters that he didn't have to answer to either Rijkaard or Ronaldinho, only the club's management.
