Ronaldo sending out mixed messages about his future....

First the good news, according to the latest reports Cristiano Ronaldo isn't going to quit United this summer and that's despite his comments earlier this week that he will talk about his future after the Champions League final.

Coming on the back of that speculation which the player himself instigated by talking openly to the Spanish media, and much to the relief of United fans around the world, the Portuguese winger has been quick to once again clearly state that he is indeed happy with his lot at Old Trafford, citing that Fergie is the main reason that he's staying put.

Meanwhile, other media reports in Spain are claiming that Ronaldo is angling for a massive new pay deal. United fans will have mixed views on this if true, on one hand many will be saying give him the deal that he wants, but there will be others - no doubting including Fergie and the club among them who believe the player is going about this the wrong way, when giving the impression that he might want to move elsewhere. As Fergie has pointed out in the wake of the latest transfer talk surrounding Ronaldo, Real Madrid need no encouragement where speculation is concerned linking them to stars like the United winger.

It remains to be seen what the exact truth is, but if we can take Ronaldo for his word then it seems that he will stay for as long as Fergie is still the manager. On that latter point, there has been a great deal of speculation suggesting that should United win the Champions League Fergie could himself call time on his own future at the club.

The only thing that we know for sure at this stage is that United must win their next game, once the dust has settled we will find out what the real truth is concerning both the player and manager.
