Manchester United are having to perform a makeover of a new exhibition for Cristiano Ronaldo.

The exhibition, months in the making, is still on display although Ronaldo, 24, has left for Real Madrid.

United bosses are trying to save face by calling it a "farewell" appreciation.

A club source told the Mirror: "Months ago it seemed a great idea to have a display for the world footballer of the year.

"No one thought he'd leave as it went on display. It has made everyone look a bit silly. It is embarrassing.

"Fans angry that he left have said it is inappropriate to glorify him. Luckily it will only be on until mid-August."
