CRISTIANO Ronaldo has played down speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid.

The 23-year-old is a target for the Spanish giants but has reiterated his desire to remain at Old Trafford for the immediate future and insists he is focused on representing Portugal at Euro 2008 next month.

'I have a contract with Manchester United and at the moment I am only thinking about having a successful European Championship,' he said.

Ronaldo (right) admitted feeling jaded after arriving in Portugal on Friday to join up with the national squad, but is looking forward to continuing his superb form on the international stage.

'I feel a little tired but I am going to have a rest in order to be ready for Euro 2008,' he added. I'm going to arrive there in form and anything is possible.'

Ronaldo enjoyed a tremendous season in England, scoring 42 goals in all competitions for United.

'The season was spectacular and I scored many goals on the way to winning two important titles for the club,' he said. 'Next year I'm going to try and play even better and have an even better season than this one. I played a spectacular championship, a good Champions League and I am very happy with everything.

'It was my first European title and I want to win it many more times because the feeling is amazing.' - PA Sport.
