And again…Ronaldo denies Real Madrid links

Cristiano Ronaldo has once again had to refute speculation of a summer move to Spanish giants Real Madrid. Neither the player nor his boss Sir Alex Ferguson were happy that the issue was raised again ahead of Tuesday night's Champions League tie with FC Porto.

Ronaldo shrugged and said: "We always have this question."

The 23-year-old simply repeated what had been said in the past.

"I am happy at this club. I think it is the right club," said Ronaldo.

One of the reasons the Portugal international is said to favour a move to La Liga is that he has become fed up of being targeted by opposition defenders.

"It has always been like that," he said.

"It is not only this season that defenders have kicked me to try and stop me. It is just normal."
