Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has refused to confirm manager Sir Alex Ferguson's claims the winger will remain at Old Trafford next season.

Ferguson met with Ronaldo on Monday to discuss the Portuguese international's future with United, and has insisted there is no chance he would be leaving for Real Madrid in the summer.

But Ronaldo, who is currently recovering from an ankle operation in America, claims he is still to make a decision on his future.

"I've had hundreds of questions about Manchester United and Real Madrid," he said. "What do you want me to say? That I'm going or I'm staying?

"I don't know about the future, only God knows it. I can't say any more.

"Great players are always hounded by great clubs. It's a normal situation. There are other great players who are in the market who are good and who other clubs want.

"I have always been hounded, not only this year. It's not strange for me, to see what happens."

Madrid are reportedly ready to offer Ronaldo massive wages, while United chief executive David Gill is adamant he will not receive a pay rise should he stay at United.

But Ronaldo, who signed a new deal at Old Trafford 18 months ago, claims any decision on his future will not be based on money.

"I want to be happy regardless of where I play," he added. "I can be happy everywhere, if I am with people I like, if I am animated, motivated.

"Am I motivated to continue at United? I am always motivated.

"I am ambitious and I want to always improve. I don't know the future, but I will be motivated."
