Cristiano Ronaldo has rubbished claims he has signed a pre-contract with Real Madrid, saying he wants to stay at Manchester United.

Ronaldo Ferguson Not in POL - 0

Fresh reports emerged from Spain on Tuesday claiming the Portugal winger will join Real in the summer after the Liga champions failed to sign him last year.

But Ronaldo's priority is to continue his success at Old Trafford.

"I know it will be hard but I want to achieve even more things with these great players we have at United," he said.

"We can dominate. Manchester has a lot of young players - myself included - so the future for the club looks good. I want to be here, to be a part of the success that I believe lies ahead.

"For me, it's great to be a part of this fantastic club and my motivation is to win more trophies.

"I'm still very ambitious. I want to carry on and repeat the success I've already had."

On Tuesday, United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said Ronaldo had an obligation to stay at the club.

"We are all proud of Cristiano achieving the status he has," Ferguson said of the FIFA World Player of the Year. "But it is a two-way street.

"The player must have the personal ambition, the desire and drive to succeed.

"But he also owes a lot to Manchester United for nurturing and encouraging him in the proper way at the right times."

  5. I just hope all the accolades do not get into his head. Ronaldo is a great player but being frist is the easiest. Staying first will be more difficult. He is already struggling to repeat his performance of last season. But he is lucky he has got talented and dedicated teammates who would fight hard for the ManU cause. Whether he is going or staying may soon be irrelevant because this has happened before and ManU has always been able to find an equivalent replacement.

  8. Mike S, have you actually watched a United game in the last 4 years? He doesn't even do the step over that much anymore. Great dribbling skills even without the step over, great in the air, wicked shot and lets not forget those thunderbolt free kicks.

  11. Good player but he still dives and goes down to easily , once he sorts that out then he will be world class.
    Not sure how genuine he is about wanting to stay at Man Utd , if he wants to leave get rid of him for theright money , there will always be someone else to take his place

  14. Ronaldo is one of the most skilled players in the premier league...

    I've never seen any one dive as quickly or as convincingly as him.

    Throw that in with the fact that he only has 1 actual skill... the step over..
