Ronaldo ready to stay at Old Trafford
Wednesday July 12 2006
Cristiano Ronaldo says it won't be a problem if he has to remain at
Manchester United.
United have declared their intention to keep hold of the Portugal
winger, who has been the subject of intense speculation over the
past three weeks after twice claiming he would like to move to
Spain.
Ronaldo, who is spending time on his home island of Madeira
following the World Cup, was quoted in the Portuguese media on
Wednesday.
"There are possibilities for me to continue at Manchester United
but there are other possibilities as well," he said.
"Everything is open, if I have to leave Manchester United I don't
want to leave on bad terms because it is a club that has
contributed to my evolution as a human being and as a
professional.
"It is an issue that has to be discussed in the next few days. For
the time being I want to distance myself from football. The most
important thing is to rest and go back to Madeira.
"I have no reason to leave the club, they have always supported me,
they always gave me guarantees of being able to evolve as a
player," he added.
"There is still nothing concrete. During this week I believe the
issue will be resolved.
"If it's a question of staying there it will be fine, if I leave it
will also be fine. It is still a question that has to be decided, I
have four days to resolve it."
