Fergie: Ronaldo Will Stay
Cristiano Ronaldo will not be heading to Real Madrid this Summer!
Thats according to Sir Alex Ferguson - "It's all nonsense, he's not going anywhere," Ferguson said. "I don't know why you keep asking me, because that's exactly what the people in Spain want."
Thats according to Real Manager Berndt Schuster - "I would like to have a lot of players," said Schuster. "But I don't think it is possible that Cristiano Ronaldo will be with us."
Thats according to Cristiano Ronaldo too - "I feel very good at the club. I want to carry on like that. I have many friends here in the club. I am five years in the club and I know everyone now - the staff, the players, and I feel like this is my home."
Ronaldo gave an interview to the News of the World yesterday, and firmly denied suggestions which have surfaced in the Spanish media that he will quit United because they have failed to honour a pledge to give him a lucrative new contract.
Ronaldo said: "I am enjoying being here in the Premier League at the moment. It is the best football in the world and I am enjoying the time when I play here. It is fantastic to play in the Premier league.
"Last season, the lads said you can't be like that again - not score 23 goals. Now I have 41. Well, next season I don't what I am going to do. If I don't score maybe 20 or 30, people may start to criticise me, but I'm ready for that. I want to have another good season after the Euros. I want to work hard and I want to do my best every time.
"I'm learning all the time, not just because I've scored 41 goals but because I have played very well. I think I have more things to learn. I'm playing with the right players in the right club to learn more and more and more and to make me a more experienced player. I want that to carry on. I want to work more to win more titles, more awards. This is for me important.
"The Spanish papers say I am unhappy at United because I have not been given a new contract. It's not true - I haven't said that. I think it is great just to be playing here in the Premier League and winning things - and then there is the Champions League final. Getting there is great. But the final is not just for playing in, it is to win."
