Man Utd's Ronaldo shuts door on Real Madrid: I want to stay

Manchester United ace Cristiano Ronaldo has shut the door on a future move to Real Madrid. "I've been playing for Manchester for five years, I feel at home," he said after being crowned European Footballer of the Year. "There have been prizes won by this club both collectively and individually. I'm happy at Manchester and want to stay."

Ronaldo joined United in 2003 and scored 42 goals last season to help them win Premier and Champions League titles. However, the 23-year-old said he wanted more.

"I am an ambitious person. I don't want it to stop here. I think we have to keep trying to win trophies... I am on the right track. I am the Golden Ball winner today, which motivates me even more."
