Calderon hits back at Man Utd
Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has hit back at Manchester United after they accused him and his club of relentlessly pursuing under contract star Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese player has reportedly been unsettled by rumours over his future.
âWe havenât interfered in Manchester Unitedâs contractual agreement with Cristiano Ronaldo,â Calderon said last night.
âIt is a shame that Manchester, a club with which we have excellent relations, is annoyed because Real Madrid have nothing to do with that aspect.
âReal Madrid have never negotiated with players under contract and we will not do that, because we wouldnât like it if others did it with our players.
âThe media have fed this problem and we are not going to get into a conflict with Manchester, who are a club we consider to be our friend, and one with which we hope to continue enjoying a good relationship.
âI am going to personally speak with David Gill because I want to clear this up with him and assure him that we are not going to influence any player to break a contractual relationship."
