Deal Or No Deal

Cristiano Ronaldo has endured months and months of speculation about his future with Manchester United and repeatedly stressed he's not leaving United even though he never hid his desire to Join Real Madrid.

I'm sure Manchester United fans all around the globe have grown frustrated with the ongoing tranfer speculation of Cristiano Ronaldo joining Real Madrid this summer for a record tranfer fee. Rondaldo has had a change of heart and has now stressed his desire to join the Spaniards this summer but United are keen to keep their star player for a few more seasons.

United have even threatend to put Ronaldo on the bench for the entire season rather than let him make his dream move to Real Madrid and also went as far as reporting Real Madrid to FIFA for their repeated interest in the star winger.

Lately Ronaldo's sights look set on leaving United after comments made in recent interviews but Sir Alex Ferguson has repeatedly stressed that the winger is not for sale.

Ronaldo has also been advised by his former international coach Luiz Felipe Scolari that he must not pass up this once in a lifetime opportunity to join the spanish giants. Scolari is not the only one encouraging Ronny to make the move, former United player and close friend Gabriel Heinze is also doing his best to persuade the 23-year-old to make a move to the Spanish capital.

In the latest news to this ongoing saga Ronaldo said the he doesn't mind upsetting Sir Alex Ferguson thus fueling his desire to leave Red Devils for the white of Real Madrid. The final twist to this whole situation could be resolved with an upcoming one on one meeting with Sir Alex Ferguson.
