London,July 07: Manchester United and Real Madrid remain locked in a tug-of-war for the Paris St Germain star, who has visited both England and Spain this week. Both clubs are believed to have made bids for the 23-year-old, but his destination may depend on an accurate translation of Spanish. His brief statement of "tengo la mente en blanco," can be translated either as "I have an open mind" or also "I am thinking about white". The latter could easily be taken as a reference to Madrid`s famous white shirts and Ronaldinho`s state of limbo is further enhanced by his personal preferences. The Brazil World Cup winner is keen to leave Paris St Germain as soon as possible, as revealed by this website earlier this week. The player returned to London on Sunday, having visited Madrid, yet claimed he was "on holiday". His visit to London fuelled claims that Chelsea, boosted by new owner Roman Abromovich`s millions, had joined the race to sign the World Cup winner.
