Is The Saga Finally Over?

Sir Alex Ferguson has said today that Ronaldo is staying, but is the saga finally over?

Now I don't want to sound to down hearted but I won't believe that this saga is over until Ronaldo says that he is staying at Manchester United.
Ferguson has confirmed today that he held talks with Ronaldo last monday, he also said that both he and Ronaldo put their points across.

Ronaldo did say the other day that something will be annouced in the next few days, so this could possibly be what he is talking about.

The gaffer has also announced that Ronaldo WILL be staying at Old Trafford for atleast the next season, which is good news for United fans but he must be prepared for some stick from some because not all United fans idolise him anymore.

Here is what he has had to say:

"The meeting went well - I think we both put across our points of view - where we stand and where the player stands.
"I can say he'll be a Manchester United player next season. That's our stance - he won't be sold.
Asked why he had not commented on the matter until now, he said: "It's not a difficult position. I was on my holiday and I was not going to interrupt my holiday, believe me.
"I wasn't panicked because the player is under contract so the strength and the rights are with Manchester United.
"What we have done well is to say nothing. We've kept quiet on this matter and kept it private and what I said to Cristiano remains private. I did go and see him last week in Portugal and it was very amicable - there were no problems. That's where we are and we carry on."
"He's had an operation and he'll be out for three months. He's on crutches for the first four weeks, he'll be in rehabilitation for the next four and then the following four he'll be back into football training. The time mapped out is three months and we won't bring him back a day earlier than that.
"I think when players have operations we have a responsibility that the player comes back 100 per cent and we'll carry that out as we normally do.
"There'll be no risk-taking - we never take risks. Our goal is to always make sure that the player gets back 100 per cent and that will be the same in the case of Cristiano Ronaldo."

So, will Real Madrid finally BACK OFF?
