Fed-up Real Madrid No1 Casillas wants to hear from Man City, Man Utd

Real Madrid captain Iker Casillas is ready to QUIT the Santiago Bernabeu for a move to Manchester.Punto Pelota says Casillas was shocked by his axing for Sunday's win over Real Betis and believes the decision was not solely made by coach Carlo Ancelotti. The club captain feels president Florentino Perez had an influence on the call.

The Spain international is now seriously considering a move away and has four offers on the table.

But he favours Manchester and would be happy playing for either Manchester United or Manchester City. Casillas wants a move, fearing for his place in Spain coach Vincente del Bosque's World Cup squad.

Interestingly, Casillas is now facing a backlash from Real fans on social media after his behaviour last season when frozen out by former coach Jose Mourinho. His axing by Ancelotti was largely accepted by Real fans, even if it did come as a shock to him.
