Not for Sale - Even for £90m

Cristiano Ronaldo will not be sold to Real Madrid - even if they come knocking on Sir Alex Ferguson's door with £90m ina big brown envelope!

So says United Assistant Manager, Carlos Queiroz, who spoke with Spanish newspaper Marca over the weekend. Fresh from revealing that Calros chased Cristiano when he was the manager of Real Madrid (but failed), Carlos says there is no price at which United will sell Ronny.

"We would not sell him for 120million euros," Queiroz said. "You can offer all the money in the world, but there is no amount that can buy him."

With United set to do the double, the Daily Mail says Sir Alex Ferguson and Carlos Queiroz are keen to make sure that Cristiano Ronaldo sees the other challenges that they can offer him at Manchester United.

Ferguson's tactic with his winning teams has always been to challenge the players to repeat their success, but it might not be that easy with Ronaldo. After all, what do you give the player who has everything?

Although Ronaldo is content at home in the Cheshire countryside, Madrid is a better fit than Manchester for the boy from the sunshine island of Madeira. The mail says that United recognise that and are happy to let him make regular trips to see his new girlfriend, Spanish model Nereida Gallardo, in Mallorca and his family in Portugal.
