Ronaldo: No Way!

UNITED: NO WAY!

Manchester United have reacted quickly to Real Madrid's supposed capture of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Apparently Ronaldo told the press he was open to a move to Real ('it would be a dream, etc') and the Presidential candidate that is using Ronaldo to help him gain power at the Spanish giants said "Manchester United know that we are talking with him - We have gone in 'through the front door."

United were quick to counter this with "Manchester United are astonished with Juan Miguel Villar Mir's comments."

"There has been no contact between Manchester United and his election team or Real Madrid, and any suggestion there has been is incorrect. Unfortunately these tactics seem to be a common occurrence in elections of this nature.

"Cristiano Ronaldo has signed a long-term contract with Manchester United which runs until 2010. He will be a Manchester United player next season. We will not be drawn further on this matter."

We await further developments!
