Calderon battles Man Utd for Real Madrid marketing whiz

Real Madrid presidential candidate Ramon Calderon is ready to battle Manchester United for marketing chief Jose Angel Sanchez.
Sanchez is wanted by United owners, the Glazer family, after the Americans were alerted to his possible availability this summer.
Sanchez has been hugely influential in rebuilding the Real brand over the last five years and was at the forefront of their push into China and the USA.
At the announcement of his presidential candidacy yesterday, Calderon said he would "be delighted" if Sanchez continued in the job next season.
