Sir Alex Ferguson was quick to dismiss the rumours, originating in Spain, that Real Madrid had already struck a deal with United for Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer. His exact words were “I wouldn’t sell them a virus.”
Gary Neville, who is currently with the team in Japan, has accused Real Madrid of being disrespectful.
“There should be a level of respect between clubs,” said Neville. “But there is nothing we can do. The speculation will always be there and as a player there is nothing you can do, but I do know Manchester United have never sold a player they wanted to keep, and they want to keep Ronaldo.”
Ronaldo has responded to the rumours in a pleasing manner though, claiming he is happy at the club and isn’t arsed about what other people have to say about it.
“I don’t care what people are saying,” said Ronaldo. “I have not read it. I am here in Japan and I know nothing about what is going on around me. But I am very happy playing for Manchester United.”

Nice one, Ronaldo has finally realised he has seriously annoyed most Manchester United fans for the way he flirted with the has beens from the bernerbau in the summer. Now maybe we should get behind him at OT and bring back the backing he had last season and we might see the same ronaldo rather than the petulant whinger he has been recently at least this time he has said he is very very happy at OT
no redflag. Ronaldo has finally realised that for as long as Madrid are being run by Calderon and Pedro as the director, with Ramos as manager, and not even being in the top four, they are to be stayed away from
i wish fergie would turn up the abuse by afew notches ….make calderon say somin about ronnie in anger …….that might work.As long as the tension and anger is high there possibly cant be any deal and it also diverts the media!
Finally! That is what Ronaldo is supposed to say, good response
Has he realised? Only time will tell.
If Real start climbing up the table and do the ‘dippers over in the CL, they’ll no doubt come knocking on the door in June again knowing they’ll once more be the attractive proposition Ronaldo thought they were.
Selective journalism today again. Neil custis in The Sun reported on SAF comments regarding Madrid(Mob and Virus etc) then put at the bottom “Ronaldo would ONLY state I don’t want to talk about it” therefore giving the impression that Ron had not in anyway quashed the rumours. How do these cunts that pass themselves off as Reporters or Journalists get away with it?
Because, for as long as there are people thick enough to buy The Sun, they’ll have “journos” to write columns for it.
