‘No Intention’ of selling Ronaldo
May 21st, 2008 at 1:33 am , filed under News.Manchester United chief executive David Gill insists there is no way the Barclays Premier League champions would compromise their future success by cashing in on Cristiano Ronaldo. The 40-goal Portugal winger, who many consider to be best player in the world on current form, was quoted on Spanish TV this week claiming he would reassess his future following tomorrow’s Champions League final in Moscow.
It has been no secret that Ronaldo would like to play his trade at Spanish League one day, Real’s manager Bernd Schuster yesterday expressed doubt that a deal could ever be struck. David Gill said ‘without doubt we will be keeping our prize asset’.
Ronaldo got four more years on his contract until 2012, ‘he enjoys it immensely here, you can tell that when you speak to him privately. Why would he want to leave? We have no intention of letting him go, we will make sure that he’s very happy here, as we do with all our top players.’
He’s been with us for five years and we’re sure he’ll be with us for many years to come.
