Ronaldo loving it at United
Cristiano Ronaldo has confirmed his intention to remain at
Manchester United until he is no longer wanted.
The brilliant winger snubbed apparent interest from Real Madrid and
Barcelona in favour of signing a lucrative contract extension that
will keep him at Old Trafford until 2012. "I have enjoyed playing
for this club for five years and I want to keep going like that,"
he said.
The new deal has not stopped the Spanish sides repeatedly
suggesting the 22-year-old would be welcome at the Bernabeu or the
Nou Camp whenever he wanted to make the switch.
the confidence
However, Ronaldo said: "Sometimes in the past I have thought about
other clubs but I took a decision to stay because this is the right
place for me.
"It is not just about the club. It is the people, the players and
the supporters. You have everything here. No-one knows the future
but only when the club says they don't want me will I leave."
"I am at this club because of Sir Alex Ferguson," he added. "He is
the one who gives me the confidence to play."
