Ronaldo agrees United extension

Cristiano Ronaldo has agreed a two-year extension to his Manchester United contract, which will keep him at Old Trafford until 2010.

The deal had been verbally agreed in the summer but some minor details have now been ironed out, allowing the 20-year-old to commit his long-term future to the Red Devils.

It represents a major coup for United boss Alex Ferguson, who is building a team that he hopes will take the north-west giants back to the summit of the English game.
