Cristiano Ronaldo has apparently claimed that he is hoping to have an even greater season this season at Manchester United then their last one - which was hardly a bad one, in which they won both the Premier League and the European Cup. It was believed by many that the Porugal international midfield maestro would be off on his way to Spain's La Liga, where Real Madrid were expected to be Ronaldo's third club.

Cristiano Ronaldo ended all speculation by stating in a press-conference that he wants to stay with Manchester United, and that he is very happy living in Manchester. It is definitely believed that Ronaldo will go to Madrid in the future, but for now he will have at least one more sseason with United in England. Most people also believe that this will be his last season at Man Utd, with Real Madrid apparently still desperate to sign the young star.

Reassuringly to Manchester United's huge fanbase, Cristiano has gone on and reportedly stated that he sees the next season as being a huge one in the clubs history, and with the likes of Berbatov joining the club he feels that the team can go on to get even more success then last season, perhaps even by claiming another treble - matching the feat made by Sir Alex Ferguson and his men in 1999.

The Manchester United team had another shaky start to the season, drawing their first game at home against Newcastle 1-1 without Cristiano Ronaldo. The club have now gone on to improve their league and european form, and look to be another dangerous team both domestically and throughout Europe - especially when Ronaldo is back to his usual tricks.
