London, July 11: Brazilian star Ronaldinho wants to join Manchester United and is now waiting for his club Paris St Germain and the English Premiership champions to agree on a deal believed to be worth around 25 million euros.
The 23-year-old, who has also been linked with a switch to Barcelona, is determined to move to Old Trafford where he will be guaranteed Champions League football next season.
The Brazilian World Cup winner has told his brother and agent Roberto Assis that he has made up his mind about a move away from the cash-strapped French side.
"Ronaldinho wants to go to Manchester United, so at the moment it's just a question of waiting for the deal to be completed," Assis told the press association yesterday.
Earlier, Paris St Germain completed the signing of Portuguese striker Pauleta from Bordeaux - a deal which is expected to open the way for Ronaldinho to leave.



However, PSG president Francis Graille has claimed Barcelona have made a better offer than United for Ronaldinho.



Barcelona were understood to have offered 27 million euros (31 million dollars) plus French defender Philippe Christanval and Argentine midfielder Juan Roman Riquelme.



United were said to have offered 25 million euros plus additional payments based on Ronaldinho's performance which could raise the deal to 35 million euros (40 million dollars).



Last month, Barcelona failed to lure David Beckham to the NOU camp with the England skipper preferring instead to move to Real Madrid.
