Cristiano Ronaldo has rocked Manchester United by admitting that
reports linking him with a move to Real Madrid should Juan Miguel
Villar Mir win the presidential elections on Sunday are true.
The Manchester United man made the revelation after scoring the
penalty that knocked England out of the World Cup in
Gelsenkirchen.
Ronaldo was quoted earlier in the week as stating he had agreed to
move to Spain if Villar Mir emerged victorious in the club's
elections, but the report was dismissed by both United and manager
Sir Alex Ferguson.
However, Ronaldo has now shocked his employers after conceding that
he is keen on a switch to Los Merengues.
"Yes, they are true," he said when quizzed on the reports, adding
later: "After the World Cup, I decide my life."
Ronaldo now seems intent on securing a switch away from Old
Trafford, but his relations with his team-mates would have been
tetchy in any case after his performance in Germany.
The winger courted unpopularity by appearing to demand a red card
for United team-mate Wayne Rooney, who was dismissed after being
adjudged to have stamped on Ricardo Carvalho.
Rooney was incensed at the actions of Ronaldo and pushed the
Portuguese youngster in the chest before being shown the red
card.
However, Ronaldo has now insisted that he did not seek an early
bath for his club ally.
"I complained to the referee about the foul but I didn't ask for a
red card," Ronaldo added
