Speaking in Japan, where Manchester United came through an eight-goal thriller to beat Gamba Osaka 5-3 in the Club World Cup semis, boss Sir Alex Ferguson reacted to the fresh rumours regarding Cristiano Ronaldo's future.

During the summer, repeated attempts were made by the media and, it's widely believed, by Real Madrid themselves to unsettle United's wing-wizard Ronaldo.

The Portuguese star has hinted in the past that he'd love to play in Spain at some point, prompting Madrid to launch an all-out transfer assault on the player. However, he returned to United's Carrington complex and is very much to the fore of their title push at present.
