United - Ronaldo not for sale
Manchester United chief executive David Gill believes there is 'absolutely no point' having a discussion with Cristiano Ronaldo about his future.
Ronaldo was courted by Real Madrid 12 months ago, but United stood firm and persuaded the winger to stay at Old Trafford.
Reports have claimed that the Spanish giants will make a renewed effort to sign Ronaldo at the end of the season to give United another transfer headache.
However, Gill has reiterated that Ronaldo is not for sale and is not envisaging a repeat of last summer's transfer saga.
"We've never had that discussion," said Gill. "There's absolutely no point in having that discussion.
"We made it clear last year he's on a long-term contract with us and it's never come up.
"He's been fantastic both on and off the pitch throughout, he's supported us in what we want to do commercially and he's been a model professional.
"He is not for sale. He's a great player and he's part of our club."
Gill would not be surprised to see the rumours resurface regarding Real's interest in Ronaldo, particularly with a presidential election looming at the Bernabeu.
But, having clinched a third consecutive Premier League title on Saturday, Gill believes Ronaldo's ambitions can be satisfied at United.
He added: "I'm sure the Spanish press will start rumours and start that whole process going again.
"There's a (presidential) election as we know at Real Madrid and we've seen it all before with many of our players over the years since I've been with the club, and that will happen.
"But we're not prepared to use the papers in that way at Manchester United and I think we've got to be confident that Cristiano will stay.
"He's had an excellent season, he didn't score as many goals as last year, but nonetheless is the top scorer in the Premier League, he is a fantastic player.
"All we know is you just have to see our dressing room after the game yesterday, after we win a trophy.
"Footballers want to win things and I think any footballer would recognise he has much more chance of winning things, certainly in the short to medium term, at Manchester United than Real Madrid."
