Yesterday Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has said that he expects Cristiano Ronaldo to stay at United but I can't help but feel a by synical about what he has said.
United Chief Executive David Gill and Ramon Calderon are expected to meet today at the European Club Association general assembly in Switzerland for the first time since rumours of Ronaldo's departure have surfaced.
I think this is why he is cooling it down and also because they have been warned from FIFA about their future conduct on signing Ronaldo.
Calderon said:
"The most probable outcome as of today is that Cristiano Ronaldo will continue to play for Manchester United next year,"
"Theoretically we still have time, there are still two months left until the end of August."
"We have not had any discussions with Ronaldo because United said they don't want to sell and we don't want to be disrespectful to them,"
"I wouldn't like to interfere in a relationship between player and club."
"I have heard that he has said many times that he would like to go to Madrid and it is his dream," he said.
"But we can't say any more as it could be misinterpreted and we wouldn't like to upset Manchester.
"I don't know if he will play for Real Madrid next season. We will only do what Manchester United want to do with the player.
"We are very good friends with Manchester United and they have said many times that they don't want to sell the player so we can't do anything.
"If they say sometime that they would like to sell we will be there and will ask."

I have absolutly no respect for Real Madrid and I am loosing respect for Ronaldo, he has said twice that his future will be announced in 2-3 days but it still hasn't been announced weeks later.
The sooner it is sorted, the better.

I don't believe a word anybody associated with Real Madrid say and I will only believe that they have accepted defeat when it is all sorted out.
