Cristiano Ronaldo insists he will discuss his Manchester United future after the UEFA Champions League final.

The PFA Player of the Year was part of the United side which overcame Barcelona 1-0 on Tuesday night to set up an all-English final in Moscow next month.

Reports have suggested that United are looking to tie Ronaldo down to a new long-term contract, while the winger continues to be admired by Real Madrid.

Ronaldo has regularly played down suggestions he will join the Spanish champions and wants to focus on securing more silverware with the Red Devils.

"What I want to do is play in the final and win the next game against West Ham to win the league," Ronaldo told Marca.

"For my future, I neither know nor want to talk about it. After the Champions League final, we can talk about it."

Fantastic

United's leading scorer also praised the club's fans for their role in helping the team to withstand heavy Barcelona pressure to book a place in the Champions League final.

He told MUTV: "The fans were absolutely fantastic. They did a great job and sang for the whole game. It gave the players motivation and helped us get a massive result.

"The feeling is great. It will be my first Champions League final and I feel very good. It's great for me and my colleagues.

"The final is in three weeks and we have time to work and keep our concentration. But the most important thing now is the league."
