Ancelotti rules out Ronaldo

Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti says he is not interested in signing Cristiano Ronaldo.

Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed he is not interested in signing Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portugal international has returned to training with United after a summer that saw him declare a determination to join Real Madrid and then incur the wrath of a nation for his part in Wayne Rooney's sending off in the World Cup quarter final.

Although Ronaldo has his admirers in Italy, the Rossoneri will not be making a move for 21-year-old.

"Cristiano Ronaldo?" said Ancelotti. "He's a guy with good qualities.

"But he's a winger and so he can't play at Milan.

"We would have to change our game."

Milan have been buoyed by the relative success of their appeal against the punishment meted out by the Italian authorities following the refereeing scandal that engulfed the country.

Ronaldo was rumoured to be one of their targets but it seems certain that the youngster will remain at Old Trafford, despite facing a hostile reception at away grounds throughout the season.
