Gill: Ronaldo Staying, Full Stop
Manchester United chief executive David Gill has reinforced Sir Alex Ferguson's position on Cristiano Ronaldo by insisting that there is no chance of the Portuguese megastar leaving the club in the summer.
Real Madrid have been relentless in their pursuit of the 23-year-old, who has not exactly gone out of his way to discourage their advances.
Despite the uneasy feeling at Old Trafford, generated by the fact that the 42-goal man is yet to dismiss the possibility of a switch to the Santiago Bernabeu, United's brass are at least outwardly supremely confident the incumbent PFA Player of the Year will remain in Manchester.
"Our position is clear. Sir Alex (Ferguson) and I stated it in the last week," Gill insisted.
"That's it. That's all we are going to say on the matter, full stop."
The United CEO also commented on the uncertainty surrounding the proposed purchase of Cardiff prodigy Aaron Ramsey, who has at least two other top sides hot on his heels.
"I am confident," was Gil's curt response when pressed on the status of the deal, which had seemed done and dusted at this time yesterday.
