RONALDO AT IDEAL CLUB

Last updated : 30 August 2006 By Ed

Cristiano Ronaldo as said that he is happy at United and that he's not affected by opposition fans booing him at every opportunity.

"I knew I'd be whistled as soon as I put a foot on the pitch at Charlton, but I faced the game in a very calm way," he told www.gestifute.com.

"I won't give any importance to the whistles of the insults.

"Throughout my career, I have always defended - in any circumstances - my country.

"It could be that my best friends play for other teams, but firstly I will defend my country and my shirt.

"Secondly, what happened was absolutely normal - and I think any player who was in the same situation would have done the same."

"When we are hot-headed, sometimes we say things we don't mean to, or, at least, that are not appropriate.

"I have been here since I was 18 years old, the club have supported me from the first to the last minute of my career, things have gone well. I have developed a lot in all aspects, physically as well as mentally, which has all been very gratifying for me."

"It's true I'm moving, but I've moved house every year in Manchester," he said.

"Manchester are the ideal club for me. It is true that I said one day I would like to play in Spain. But if that doesn't happen, it won't be a problem.

"I still feel very happy."
