Ronaldo has said once again that he intends to stay at United. Speaking after Portugal's game on Saturday he said:

"Am I the best in the world? I have been improving my game and I'm in a great shape this year. I feel mature. The Manchester United players are by my side and I also have a great help in the national team. But of course I believe I am one of the best.

"I have a good contract in financial terms and what really matters to me is to show my game. It's a good sign to know that I have so many clubs interested in me, but I'm very happy where I am and I hope to stay in Manchester United for many years."

He also confirmed that Belgium's goalkeeper, Stijn Stijnen, apologised to him after the game for comments made about putting him out of the game.
