Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo admits he's not pining for a return to England.

The Daily Mail says the former Manchester United favourite was no lover of the English media during his time at Old Trafford, but he was courteous enough to take questions about Wayne Rooney yesterday and is clearly now wise to our party pieces.

Asked if he missed Manchester, Ronaldo saw the trap being set.

"Er . . . yes, I do," he replied. When subsequently asked if he would like to come back again, he just winked. So that will be a "no", then.
