Ricardo Completes Loan Move To Racing Santander

Manchester United goalkeeper Ricardo has joined Spanish outfit Racing Santander on a 1-year-loan deal.

The 31-year-old Spaniard joined United from Valladolid for £1.5 million last August, and has failed to impress critics and fans.

"Racing have treated me very well and they have fulfilled the factors I like. That's why I reached agreement," said Ricardo.

"I have all the hopes in the world and want to enjoy playing in Spain again and help the team.

"This is not a step backwards I was missing Spanish football after seeing it on the television, and after talking about it with my family we decided to come to Santander."

Despite only starting 5 games for United, Ricardo insists that he has made the right decision moving to Manchester.

"I can only feel gratitude, I am nothing but grateful for the chance to play for United."
