Like every summer, there have been several rumours linking Cristiano Ronaldo with a move away from the club, the destination predicted to be Real Madrid. Ronaldo has denied these rumours, claiming he is very happy at the club.
United chief executive David Gill has today reinforced these claims, saying that Ronaldo’s relationship with the club and the chances of him winning trophies will keep him at United for years to come.
“Without doubt we are [confident he will stay],” said Gill. “He’s got four more years on his contract with us until 2012. He’s been with us for five years and we hope, and we are sure, he will be with us for years to come. He is clearly one of the best, if not the best, in the world. But he’s at a great club that is winning trophies. He enjoys it immensely here. I can tell that from speaking to him privately and you can see he has a great relationship with the staff and the players. Why would he want to leave? We have no intention of letting him go and we will make sure he is very happy here as we do with all our top players. Manchester United is not a club that sells its main assets. We want a successful team on the pitch and you don’t achieve that by selling Cristiano Ronaldo. He is going nowhere.”

yeah, but so what? it’s not like Real will listen
The quotes in the article forgotthe most sickening lines ive heard since malcolm spouted he wanted to buy our brilliant club. Namely Gill saying “we have to keep our best players esp Christiano..be successful..in order to service our debt”
WHAT??????
Not to win trophies and create legacy’s..but to service our debt. Iknew things could go bad when we got taken over by those muppets..who plunged the only club in the black, the onlly club that had great turnover, was profitable. Whilst other clubs who tried to be “US” were hugely in the red..near living on bankruptcy eg Chelscow..before being saved by that russian lottery winner.
At first i heard the debt was approaching 400 millions..today reports state its 764 millions. Its making me sick thinking about it. How could our club become a leeds. Just doesn bear thinking about.
Football is fickle..and you can have failre just as eas as success. We have no god given right to win everything..and no team can. Yet even though we have been successful we still are in 764 mill of debt…whilst those glazer clowns try to pay huge interest charges with our money and our assets and our club. Cause they are pennyless.
Does this mean if we arent successful 1 season we are doomed and go down under.
Scott..you should have mentioned that quote you omitted…we have to service the debt….what a comment….im disgusted by the top brass.
On the eve of such a big moment. we get this
