Sir Alex Ferguson has finally spoken at length about the summer’s biggest story, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Admitting that he flew to Portugal to meet with the player last week, Ferguson seemed happy with the face to face sit down and has reiterated his stance that Ronaldo will be going nowhere soon.

“The meeting went well - I think we both put across our points of view - where we stand and where the player stands.”I can say he’ll be a Manchester United player next season. That’s our stance - he won’t be sold.”

Asked why he had not commented on the matter until now, Ferguson replied: “It’s not a difficult position. I was on my holiday and I was not going to interrupt my holiday, believe me.

“I wasn’t panicked because the player is under contract so the strength and the rights are with Manchester United.

“What we have done well is to say nothing. We’ve kept quiet on this matter and kept it private and what I said to Cristiano remains private. I did go and see him last week in Portugal and it was very amicable - there were no problems. That’s where we are and we carry on.”

You gotta love Fergie even if you hate Manchester United. Even when the biggest player in the world threatens to leave and force a move to Madrid, Fergie’s still content to chill out and enjoy his holiday.
