New Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari has denied quotes attributed to him at the weekend with regards Cristiano Ronaldo's purported switch to Real Madrid.

Reports in an English Sunday newspaper quoted Scolari as saying Ronaldo's desire was to move to the Spanish champions and he would 'fulfil his dream whatever the difficulties'.

Manchester United have insisted they have no intention of relenting to the player's wishes, firm in the belief that Ronaldo will still be at Old Trafford next season.

Scolari, who has spent the summer working alongside Ronaldo with the Portuguese national side at Euro 2008, has now released an official statement on the Portuguese FA website denying making any such claims.

Firm denial

The statement read: "Luiz Felipe Scolari categorically denies having given an interview or having made any of the declarations printed in media concerning the future of Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Furthermore, the national team coach has not made any contact with the media since the end of the match between Portugal and Germany when he spoke about the quarter-finals of Euro 2008.

"Luiz Felipe Scolari regrets that his name is being used in connection with speculation and lies, and takes this opportunity to deny in advance any alleged declarations used by the media without their authenticity being thoroughly confirmed."
