i doubt if ronaldo will go in th summer, he is such a great player at a great team im sure he would be able to realise that, movin to some big club like real madrid who are shit aint going to do anything for him.

dnt bout th barcelona thing, wen they sayin they are willin to swap ronaldo for ronaldinho, that would be alright but the boy is gettin fat

Keep Your Hands Off Our Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo will not join Real Madrid or Barcelona in the summer, says Manchester United legend Bobby Charlton. The Spanish giants are both thought to be preparing world record £50million bids for the Portuguese winger. But Old Trafford director Charlton said: “He’s our player and he’s under contract to us. We have no reason at all why we would want Ronaldo to play for any other club but ourselves. He’s our player and while he’s under contract to us I don’t think it’s anybody’s right to start the process of trying to change him into being one of their players."
