United still right for Ronaldo
by Tom Kell, 13 May 2008
Cristiano Ronaldo is sure that he can continue to flourish at Manchester United and, as a result, has no intention of having his head turned by reputed interest from elsewhere.
The Portuguese winger has frequently been linked with a move away from Old Trafford, with usual suspects Barcelona and Real Madrid the most touted destinations.
Reports in the Spanish media on Tuesday suggest Madrid’s interest has been reignited, with £100 million the projected transfer fee.
However, having secured The Premier League title and with the Champions League in his sights, he sees no reason to head anywhere else.
"I'm at the right club, playing with the right players and I learn things all the time," he told MUTV.
"That's what's great about being at United. I improve all the time and I want to improve every season. I think I'm a better player now than five years ago.
"This season has been a great one for me - I've scored a lot of goals, the team have played very well and we're champions. It's amazing.
"I didn't think it would go to the final day of the season, but to be honest the feeling is better [to win on the last day].
"When the ref blew the final whistle it was brilliant. We've worked hard for nine months and I feel very proud to be champions."
