Sky Sports reporters spotted Avram near his Florida home and they didn't hesitate to seek answers from the Manchester United club's co-owner who in his defence had ready answers.

"As we announced yesterday, the board went through a process and decided it's going to look at different strategic alternatives - and that's what we're doing." Said Avram who seemed to be uncomfortable all through.

The fans wanted to know more about the Cristiano Ronaldo issue he had a well-phrased answer for the reporters.

"Well, I'll tell you about Cristiano Ronaldo - he's a great Manchester United player, I appreciate everything he's done for the club and I wish him the best of luck in the future." Said Avram.

Avram tried his level best to be cool as questions continued to be thrown at him in regard to Ronaldo. Ronaldo's contract was terminated by United after exposing the club in a viral interview that was conducted by Piers Morgan.

Manchester United's price tag has not been disclosed yet but it has been reported that David Beckham will help in the negotiation process for a smooth transition.
