Ronaldo Happy At Old Trafford

18 April 2009 16:09
Cristiano Ronaldo has dropped the biggest hint yet that he will stay at Manchester United next season. Once again, Ronaldo has been the centre of attention this week after former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon claimed the best player in the world would arrive at the Bernabeu this summer. Sir Alex Ferguson decided not to respond, beyond the tongue-in-cheek statement that clubs 'find it easy to get players off us don't they?'. However, Ronaldo has offered his own assessment of the situation. With three Premier League clubs in the Champions League semi-finals for the third successive year, there is no doubt where the power in European football lies at present. And it seems Ronaldo may opt to remain at Old Trafford to further his medal collection. "It is a great feeling and I love to play here," the Portugal superstar told Setanta Sports. "I am very happy here. I want to win more trophies here. At the moment I think I am at the right club. "And I want to win trophies next season as well." United must tackle Arsenal in the Champions League semi-final, their first two-legged meeting with English opposition. "It is not luck that there are three English teams in the semi final of the Champions League," observed Ronaldo. "In my opinion it is because the Premier League is the toughest league and the most competitive league with the best players." First, United must tackle Everton in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final and then Portsmouth at Old Trafford on Wednesday as they look to consolidate their position at the Premier League summit. A pair of victories would keep United on course for an unprecedented quintuple, an aim Ronaldo admits will be tough to complete, but one he does not rule out. "We have this opportunity, but it will be difficult to win the five trophies," he added. "It is not impossible; we have to play against Everton and that will be a tough game, but everyone knows if we win we are in the final again."
