Sir Alex Ferguson has described as nonsense reports linking
Cristiano Ronaldo with Real Madrid as he makes plans to add to his
Manchester United squad.
Speculation in Spain has claimed that Real president Ramon Calderon
is putting together a bid for Portuguese winger Ronaldo.
But Ferguson was quick to dismiss the rumours, insisting there has
been no contact with United's Spanish counterparts.
"That's nonsense," said Ferguson. "First of all they haven't made
an offer anyway.
"That's not even worth talking about, it's not even an issue for
us."
United are still chasing Owen Hargreaves, but Ferguson admits there
has been no recent progress after Bayern Munich admitted they could
sell the midfielder at the right price.
Ferguson added: "There's no progress at the moment, there's nothing
to report on that."
The Premiership leaders have already brought in Henrik Larsson
during the January transfer window and Ferguson is not ruling out
further arrivals.
He added: "We may sign someone in January, there may be a couple of
signings in January.
"Who knows? We are looking at some things."
