According to The Sun, the United board will not put a
new deal on the table until Ronaldo shows that he is desperate to
remain at Old Trafford.
Thus, the Portuguese superstar would have to keep quiet over his
dream of joining Real Madrid if he wishes to earn an improvement on
his current €147,000-per-week salary.
There has been speculation that Ronaldo's on-field body language
over the last month suggests his heart has already made the switch
to the Bernabeu.
However, the 23-year-old's form and enthusiasm has
picked up noticeably in his last few outings for United, and he may
opt to stay in England at the end of the season if there is a new
contract on offer.
