Nereida told AS: "Frankly, I do not know if he will stay in Manchester or if he is going to move to Real Madrid. It is not because he does not know what to do, but because today he has not told me anything. He never talks about this with me.

"The decision depends only on him and if he chooses to go to Madrid I will support him in everything because he's my boyfriend. The same will happen if he stays in Manchester. I do not care what he does. I just want the best thing for him. Cristiano does not like to talk about work issues and I do not press him on it."
