Ronaldo: I'll never forget Manchester United

Cristiano Ronaldo insisted he will never forget his time at Manchester United but gave no indication that he is considering a future return to Old Trafford.

The 32-year-old spent six successful years under Sir Alex Ferguson, winning three Premier League titles and the Champions League, as well as his first Ballon d'Or in 2008.

He eventually made the move to Real Madrid in 2009, however, and has gone on to collect three more Ballon d'Ors, as well as claiming numerous trophies with the Spanish club.

And, in a Nike Football interview with former team-mate Rio Ferdinand, Ronaldo insists he has fond memories of his time at United but says that he always planned to head to Spain to prove his world-class ability.

He said: "I will never forget the Red Devils. I learnt to be better and better, being around the best players in the world. If you make the two things [go together], talent and work hard, you can be a huge player. And I think I'm in that role.

"When I landed here in Madrid I started to feel the atmosphere, I thought it was a game that day because all these people came just to see me. It was a great surprise. It was an unbelievable day, I was so proud."
