Gill: Ronny's here for good

Cristiano Ronaldo will not be sold to Real Madrid, United chief executive David Gill has insisted.

Tabloid reports have surfaced in recent weeks linking the reigning La Liga champions with a £50million bid for the Portuguese superstar, but Gill is adamant that no amount of money would convince United to part with the 22-year-old.

"There’s no chance of us selling him," said Gill. "Absolutely no way, whatever the money. He signed a new contract last season to 2012 and we are not a selling club. Alex Ferguson has never let a player go when he was not happy to do so."

Ronaldo has been repeatedly linked with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu in recent seasons, but Gill insists that the winger is already at the right club to showcase his incredible talent.

"Cristiano is happy here," he said. "Alex and Carlos Queiroz know his mind and what he’s about. Everything about him is Manchester United. He’s like George Best, Eric Cantona. You can’t sell players like that and we are not going to sell players like that."
