Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed Manchester United have opened contract negotiations with Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portugal winger’s future has been the subject of intense speculation over the past few months, with Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona linked with the talented 22-year-old.
However, United are determined to keep their prize asset and are ready to offer Ronaldo an extension to his current deal which runs until 2010 following assurances the former Sporting Lisbon player wishes to remain at Old Trafford.
“Cristiano is at the right club,” said Ferguson.
“He wants to stay. Why should he want to go anywhere else?
“We have been negotiating for a few weeks now and hopefully we can come to an agreement where he will stay with us for the next few years.”
