FERGUSON PRAISES RONALDO

"I don't think there is a better player in the world than Cristiano at the moment.

"But he can certainly fulfil all his potential here.

"The better climate is always an attraction but when you think about it, look what you get from Manchester United.

"We get 76,000 people in the stadium for every home game. You don't get that anywhere else.

"I know Barcelona, Real Madrid and AC Milan can fill their stadiums when they have big games. But their stadiums are not full every week. Old Trafford is. Cristiano is at a good club and he knows it.

"There are no issues because I know the boy is happy here.

"I don't need to sit down with Cristiano because in modern-day football, you have to accept speculation will be rife.

"I pick up the newspapers sometimes and read who I am supposed to be buying and some of them I have never even thought about.

"Clubs have to make agents feel wonderful. That is the name of the game. It doesn't bother me."
