Ronaldo thanks Sir Alex

Cristiano Ronaldo has thanked Sir Alex Ferguson for bringing him to Man Utd, and promised that despite speculation, he would not be leaving the club this summer or anytime soon. Real Madrid were reportedly desperate to land the Portugal winger.

"The boss is the reason I am here in the club," Ronaldo said in the News of the World. "He helped me a lot, not just this season but the seasons before. I feel very good at the club. I want to carry on like that.

"I have many friends here in the club. I am five years in the club and I know everyone now - the staff, the players, and I feel like this is my home.

"I am very, very happy with my season. I scored 31 League goals. I don't need to show nothing to anyone.

"I win every award. I need to prove nothing. When I hear it said that I do not play well against the big teams, it does not annoy me because I know I am the best.

"I am enjoying being here in the Premier League at the moment. It is the best football in the world and I am enjoying the time when I play here. It is fantastic to play in the Premier league."
