Ronaldo reiterates United commitment

Wing sensation aiming for clean sweep of trophies

Cristiano Ronaldo has reiterated that he wants to stay with Manchester United, and says that his side have a great chance of winning the Premiership title this season.

The Portuguese winger is currently the subject of much speculation, with stories in Spain claiming that both Barcelona and Real Madrid are preparing bids for the 22-year-old this summer.

However, in an interview with English magazine Four Four Two, Ronaldo says he is happy to remain at Old Trafford, having settled into all parts of life in Manchester.

“I’ve got a contract with United. If they speak to anyone - it’s my agent, not me. I told my agent I’m happy here and want to continue,” he said.

“It’s a kind of football in Spain that attracts me, but at the moment I don’t want to leave here. I’ve been here for a while and every year I try to get better and better.”

“I’ve had to adapt to the culture, the football, the life and I think I’ve adapted well. It’s more or less what I expected to happen. I’m enjoying my career here.”

United currently lead champions Chelsea by six points at the top of the Premiership, with twelve league games remaining. Since arriving in England in 2003, Ronaldo has yet to win a league title with the club, but he feels that United are on course to change that during the coming months.

“We’ve got a good lead in the Premiership and the chances of winning the league this year are great. Chelsea are a great team, but we’re on the right path,” said the former Sporting man.

“We’re playing good football, we’ve been the consistent team and if things continue that way we can win the championship.”

“My dream of winning the league is very much alive. I want to win all the trophies. It could almost be the perfect year.”
