Sir Alex Ferguson appears to have backtracked somewhat on his stance regarding Cristiano Ronaldo, claiming on Monday that ‘going to Real Madrid would be the worst thing he could do’.
Ferguson seemed ultra-confident over Ronaldo’s future on Friday, insisting the 23-year-old ‘would be a Manchester United player next season’.
The United boss maintains that view – pointing to the facts of Ronaldo’s contract, but his suggestion that Madrid would be a bad career move appear to hint that the saga is not yet dead.
Madrid president Roman Calderon has confirmed he will not be giving up until the player states his position, which crucially remains cloudy after Ronaldo stated ‘only God knows my future’.
Ferguson may be God in the eyes of United fans, but his confidence seemed less secure when discussing the matter on Monday.
"Sometimes young lads can be turned by talk of money and the moves that are happening all the time in football," said The Scot.
“But the future is that he signed a five year contract with the team last year and he has four years left. That’s definite, I’ve seen his signature.
“After the Champions League final Ronaldo was the happiest boy in the world. I think he knows where the best club is to be, and that is Manchester United.
“I honestly believe that going to Real Madrid would be the worst thing he could do. He’s 23 years old and is at a fantastic club.”
