Manchester United have declared their intention to keep hold of Cristiano Ronaldo.

The future of the Portugal winger has been the subject of intense speculation over the past three weeks, with the 21-year-old twice claiming he would like to move to Spain.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson initially suggested he would try to keep Ronaldo at Old Trafford and those comments have been reinforced by the Old Trafford outfit this morning.

'Manchester United has noticed the increasing media speculation over the future of Cristiano Ronaldo,' said a statement released by the Red Devils.

'The club can confirm there is no possibility of Cristiano being sold.

'Cristiano recently signed a new contract until 2010 and the club fully expects him to honour that contract.

'The club will not listen to any offers for Cristiano.

'Cristiano is one of the brightest young stars in world football, as demonstrated by his performances at the World Cup and Manchester United is not in the business of selling their best young players.'

Ronaldo, who is spending time on his home island of Madeira following the World Cup, was quoted in the Portuguese media today.

'There are possibilities for me to continue at Manchester United but there are other possibilities as well,' he said.

'Everything is open, if I have to leave Manchester United I don't want to leave on bad terms because it is a club that has contributed to my evolution as a human being and as a professional.

'It is an issue that has to be discussed in the next few days. For the time being I want to distance myself from football. The most important thing is to rest and go back to Madeira.

'I have no reason to leave the club, they have always supported me, they always gave me guarantees of being able to evolve as a player,' he added.

'There is still nothing concrete. During this week I believe the issue will be resolved.

'If it's a question of staying there it will be fine, if I leave it will also be fine. It is still a question that has to be decided, I have four days to resolve it.'

What are the chances of him staying? I mean in the same team as Rooney!?
 
Its such a stupid thing to fight about!

I mean many players do the same thing as ronaldo did to rooney!

Its not like he broke rooneys foot again!

They should kiss and make up end of story!
 
vrapt0r, I agree with you, but these british folks are passionate about their sport.
One of my first experiences in this country was after the 98 world cup, where beckham was sent off.
I was walking down the main road, spying out the shops, and HANGING FROM A NOOSE, outside a pub, was an effigy of beckham, that had been set alight.
That is how popular he was for "losing" england the world cup

Ronaldo doesnt stand a chance in hell.
 
If I were him I would be scared to go back ... something is going to happen to him in the UK ... perhaps he should hire some bodyguards ;).

Also the team will turn their back on him no matter what the bosses tell them.
 
He should go to a better league like La Liga which suits his style of play more and where he won't be a scapegoat for England's dismal performance.

The quality of the teams playing, the games that are played within the league itself. I'd take the worst two teams in England playing each other over the same from La Liga any day. There are some really weak teams in Spain , man

But what better way to compare the quality of the two leagues than look at head-to-head results of games between clubs from the two teams? :)
 
Well that is one way of looking at it. But i have been watching premiership games since it started and i have caught my fair share of La Liga and Serie A and even Bundesliga games in that time as well, and i would take the Premiership games anyday.
 
I think yours is just patriotism and understandable. It's a well known fact Worldwide that La Liga is better.
 
Don't you wonder why great players like Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Maradona, Zidane, etc go for La Liga but never the English league?
