United hard to beat

After a summer of rumours and speculation over the Portugal international's future at Old Trafford, it seemed the winger was certain to leave for Real Madrid, but the persistence of Sir Alex Ferguson to halt such talk means that the smart money is on Ronaldo staying where he is.

"There have been a lot of things said and it is a very personal situation but we have a great team here, we play in a great stadium, with great fans and we have an opportunity to win more," said the 37-year-old.

"It is not that the team is going backwards.

"We have other trophies to play for, like the Super Cup and Intercontinental Cup. You don't get the chance to play in those competitions very often because you need to win the Champions League in order to qualify.

"In my opinion, being at Manchester United is a great way to play at the highest level and win trophies with a team that is very closely knitted together.

"Cristiano also has a contract here. Sometimes things change but we have a good squad here without any question."
