Ron pledges United future
26 May 2008 - 11:02:11
Cristiano Ronaldo has reiterated his happiness at Manchester United and revealed he 'would love to continue' at Old Trafford.
The 23-year-old Portugal international has been heavily linked with a £100million move to Spanish giants Real Madrid after starring in United's Premier League and Champions League double-winning season.
The 42-goal winger has steadfastly refused to pledge his long-term future to the Red Devils which has fuelled speculation that he could be prised away this summer.
But despite continuing to admit that he would like to play in Spain at some point in his career, Ronaldo seems certain to be staying with the European champions for the foreseeable future.
He told Portuguese newspaper Publico: "The press always make stories about interest from other teams, not only from Madrid, also from Barcelona.
"On one hand it's good and means that they know your value as a player and think you can be a good reinforcement for other teams.
"But my head is in Manchester because it is the club that, at the moment, puts me in the best condition and that I'm happy at.
"Now, as I have said many times, only God knows the future.
"I have never hid from anyone that I would like to play in Spain one day. It's a dream but sometimes dreams don't happen.
"I can guarantee that I am happy at Manchester United and that I would love to continue."
