Man Utd's Ronaldo welcomes Man City competition

Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo has dismissed talk of a record-breaking move to Manchester City.

United have dismissed the notion of selling Ronaldo - and the European Golden Boot winner insists money will not motivate a decision on his future.

"It's good in a way," said Ronaldo, when asked at a press conference about the City takeover.

"It's good for football that a club that hasn't won for a number of years.

"It's like Chelsea when Abramovich arrived. They had not won for 50 years and he arrived and they won the Premiership once and then again.

"It's good for football and for any team, not only Manchester, but Arsenal, Liverpool.

"Money doesn't make a club great and it's not the most important thing, but I am not the one making the decisions, so you never know in the future.

He added in the Gazzetta dello Sport: "I don't see myself in the shirt of another Manchester team."
