The Portuguese winger has been linked with a $100million-transfer to Real Madrid after he expressed his desire to move to the Bernabeu.

"Ferguson heard my arguments, I heard his and, in fact, it was settled that the best for both parties would be for me to stay. Therefore, I can confirm that, next season, I will play for Manchester United," he told Publico.

The Premier League top scorer lashed out at claims saying that he will be playing against his will and confirmed that he will play for the Red Devils with all his heart and soul.

"I want to assume the responsibility for all this controversy. I was the one who publicly expressed my desire to go to Real Madrid. I ended up being, even involuntarily, the responsible one for the poor relationship between the two clubs," added Ronaldo.

However the Manchester United player admitted that he still dreams of Real Madrid and that his “desire, was some time, that Manchester had accepted my transfer.”
