No Real deal, insists Ronaldo

CRISTIANO RONALDO last night insisted he has no agreement to join Real Madrid and announced that he expects to be out for up to 12 weeks after an ankle operation.

The Manchester United winger’s future has been a fervent source of conjecture since the club’s UEFA Champions League final win over Chelsea in May.

Real Madrid have repeatedly stated their interest in signing Ronaldo, if the Portugal international asks to leave United.
