Nicklas Bendtner insists Arsenal's players aren't celebrating Manchester United's sale of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid.

Bendtner told Sporten.dk: "When talking about such large sums, it is difficult to say [whether Ronaldo will prove value for money].

"But he has clearly meant a great deal to Manchester United and he has given them extra points.

"His goals are often scored completely out of the blue and without the team creating an opportunity for him.

"When there is such a large offer on the table, it is hard to say no to selling a player, so I understand the market.

"But Cristiano Ronaldo has been a great player for Manchester United and they will miss him.

"This is not something for Arsenal to think about because, first and foremost, we must concentrate on our own players and our own game if we are to challenge for the championship.

"United are also much more than just Ronaldo. Such a great club has many other great players and I think also that they will buy big again, so there are others who can take over from him."
