Cristiano Ronaldo says he turned down interest from Spain
because the Premiership is the best league in the world - and says
he wants to stay at Manchester United for 'many, many
years'.
Ronaldo's superb performances throughout the season were a key
factor in the club's title victory this season, but his
eye-catching form drew interest from the likes of Real
Madrid.
However, Ronaldo eventually put pen to paper on a five-year deal in
April, and is convinced he made the right decision.
"I am staying in England because for me it's the best football in
the world," he told the Daily Star Sunday.
"And I signed for five years because I enjoy my club. I have the
same feeling now as when I arrived at United.
"I think it's the best club. That's why I want to stay for many,
many years."
And he hopes he can achieve even more next season.
"I can improve. I'm still 22 and I want to learn. I think I have
something to learn every season.
"That's what I want for next season: to learn again, to play better
and fight to win more trophies - the league, the Champions League,
everything."
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak says he has no interest in
going out on loan next season.
Kuszczak has been linked with a switch to Sunderland as Ben
Foster's return to Old Trafford will increase competition for
places.
But the 25-year-old Poland international wants to stay and fight
for his place.
"People have said I am trying to leave, but that is not the case. I
am not leaving Manchester United. I don't want to go.
"I've no interest in joining another club. I want to stay here and
fight and prove I'm good enough to do this."
