Cristiano Ronaldo has suggested he will not look to leave Manchester United while Sir Alex Ferguson remains as manager.

The Portugal international has been linked with a £100million move to Real Madrid this summer after claiming in a recent interview that he would like to one day play in Spain.

But the 23-year-old winger, who has netted a remarkable 41 goals in all competitions this season, has suggested his future remains with the Old Trafford club while the veteran Scot remains at the helm.

"The boss is the reason I am here in the club," he said in the News of the World.

"He helped me a lot, not just this season but the seasons before.

"I feel very good at the club. I want to carry on like that. I have many friends here in the club.

"I have been at the club five years and I know everyone now - the staff, the players - and I feel like this is my home."

Meanwhile speaking ahead of next week's Champions League Final with Chelsea, Ronaldo has hit back at his critics who claim he still needs to prove himself in the top games.

He added: "I am very happy with my season. I scored 31 league goals. I don't need to show anything to anyone. I won every award. I need to prove nothing.

"When I hear it said that I do not play well against the big teams, it does not annoy me because I know I am the best."
