And a fan poll in Madrid has revealed almost 60 per cent of supporters believe Ramos should now be sold.
Fans rejected the idea of selling the club's captain to begin with, but the mood among them has now changed.
This could now persuade Real president Florentino Perez to strike a deal with United over the 29-year-old centre back.

Sergio Ramos has edged closer to a Man United move
United have had a £30m bid rejected, with Perez demanding as much as £60m for Ramos.
Perez was worried about a backlash from supporters if he sold Ramos, but news that this won't happen could see him reach a compromise with United.
Ramos' departure could be good news for Real superstar and former United legend Cristiano Ronaldo.
If Ramos joins United then new Real boss Rafa Benitez is expected to hand the captain's armband to Ronaldo due to the fact he would be the club's second-longest serving player behind Marcelo, who is not guaranteed to start games.
Ramos has fallen out with Perez after failing to be handed a new and improved contract, but it is understood United are willing to meet his wage demands.
