Ronaldo: Keen on Real
If what he seeks is something else, I think that should be respected.
Tevez on Ronaldo
Quotes of the week
Manchester United ace Carlos Tevez believes Cristiano Ronaldo's desire to join Real Madrid should be respected and not ignored.
The Portugal international's future has been the number one transfer story this summer after he confirmed his wishes to join the Liga giants, a move which prompted The Reds Devils to slap a 'not for sale' sign on his services.
Despite Real's best efforts to prise the 23-year-old away from Old Trafford, the free-scoring winger remains on a long-term deal with The Red Devils.
Tevez believes that if Ronaldo's heart is set on a move to El Santiago Bernabeu then United should be more willing to talk, a move that is unlikely to go down well with manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
"The [United] team has great players, including Cristiano Ronaldo, of course," Tevez told AS.
"It's clear that he is a very important player for us, but this is a personal decision, which is up to only him.
"I understand Cristiano. Every footballer wants to play at Real Madrid. On the other hand, I also think that everyone wants to play for Manchester United, but if what he seeks is something else, I think that should be respected.
"I have not talked to him, but when these things happen, neither side feels good."
