Ronaldo loving it at United
Cristiano Ronaldo has confirmed his intention to remain at Manchester United until he is no longer wanted.
The brilliant winger snubbed apparent interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona in favour of signing a lucrative contract extension that will keep him at Old Trafford until 2012. "I have enjoyed playing for this club for five years and I want to keep going like that," he said.
The new deal has not stopped the Spanish sides repeatedly suggesting the 22-year-old would be welcome at the Bernabeu or the Nou Camp whenever he wanted to make the switch.
the confidence
However, Ronaldo said: "Sometimes in the past I have thought about other clubs but I took a decision to stay because this is the right place for me.
"It is not just about the club. It is the people, the players and the supporters. You have everything here. No-one knows the future but only when the club says they don't want me will I leave."
"I am at this club because of Sir Alex Ferguson," he added. "He is the one who gives me the confidence to play."
