Ronaldo camp rubbish recent reports
Cristiano Ronaldo’s management team have denied the
credibility of a recent interview given by their client in which
the Portugal winger allegedly admitted deciding to leave Manchester
United last summer.
Sunday newspaper The News of the World claimed to have an
exclusive with Ronaldo in the wake of his pending move to Real
Madrid.
In it the World Player of the Year appeared to confirm one of
the worst kept secrets around, namely that he felt he had reached
the end of the road at Old Trafford after last season’s Champions
League final win over Chelsea.
Management company Gestifute have now moved to deny that Ronaldo
has given any such statements since news of his record-breaking
transfer emerged on June 11.
A statement read: "Given the strident way that statements
allegedly attributed to Cristiano Ronaldo have been printed,
particularly in the English media, Gestifute reiterates what it
recently stated: Cristiano Ronaldo has been silent since he went on
holiday, and all statements (in which he is supposedly quoted) are
totally false and abusive.
"The best player in the world - who is spending the off-season
with his family - has not, to date, given any interviews, nor will
he in the next few days.
"As a result, it can be restated here that any statements that
are still being attributed to him are devoid of truth and
authenticity and must not be taken seriously."
