Winger upgrades his Bentley

What did you spend this week’s pay packet on? Cristiano Ronaldo invested in a Bentley Continental GT Speed with his sick pay from Manchester United. The 23-year-old has followed in the footsteps of team-mates Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville by picking up the 58 plate Bentley.

That fine institute of journalism, the News of the World, calculates that the Portuguese winger has spent £2 million on cars since joining United five years ago. Last month he splashed £350,000 on a Rolls Royce Phantom, and then spent a further £150,000 on a personalised CR7 number plate for it. His garage has also included two Porsche Cayennes, a BMW M6, Porsche 911, Ferrari F430 and a Bentley Continental GTC - formerly C-Ron’s runaround and now for sale in a Bolton showroom for £99,995 since the upgrade to the GT Speed.

Man Utd star treats himself to affordable run-around

Cristiano Ronaldo has celebrated his decision not to go to Real Madrid after all - not yet, anyway, but you watch him leave next year - by splashing out £340,000 (or three weeks’ wages to him) on a Rolls Royce Phantom convertible. The Phantom will replace the Portuguese star’s £140,000 Bentley Continental, which now looks cheap and tatty by comparision.

Btw: credit for this amazing piece of Photoshoppery goes to our spherical object-worshipping chums at The Spoiler. Although we doubt very much that Ron would choose it in blue.
