Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in the final moments, helping Manchester United keep the pressure on Leeds United in the standings.
Outside the locker room.
Ferguson was standing with David Gill, the old sir with his head bowed as if listening attentively, while David Gill was talking non-stop.
"Alex, I've found out. Real Madrid has completely abandoned the plan to sign Cristiano." Gil was very excited. "After Calderón stepped down, Florentino stated at the shareholders' meeting that if he returned to the position of Real Madrid president, he would abandon the plan to sign Cristiano and use the money elsewhere!"
"real!?"
Ferguson looked at David Gill with surprise, his facial muscles twitching uncontrollably with excitement.
Hearing this news.
It was hard for Ferguson not to be excited.
Real Madrid's pursuit of Cristiano Ronaldo has always been a major concern for him, and also the biggest obstacle to his contract renewal.
“It should be true.” David Gill nodded solemnly. “Alex, the person who leaked this information was someone very close to Florentino. I spent a lot of money to get credible information.”

“Yes,” Jill smiled mysteriously, “and even more frequently than before!”
Ferguson instantly understood the meaning behind Jill's smile.

"Don't worry, Alex." Jill patted Ferguson on the shoulder, looking confident. "Mendes is no match for us. I'll drag out the contract renewal until the last minute. I can't wait to see the look of pain on Mendes' face when his hopes are dashed, hahahahahahaha!"
