Carlos Queiroz claims Cristiano Ronaldo would be making a big mistake if he left Manchester United, insisting Old Trafford is the perfect stage for the Portuguese winger to fulfil his potential.
Ronaldo has enjoyed a truly memorable season and has been one of the main reasons for UnitedÂ’s resurgent league form.
But the Portuguese starÂ’s superlative displays have attracted envious glances from across Europe with Real Madrid and Barcelona making known their interest in the 22-year-old flyer.
Ronaldo himself has been notably coy over his long-term future, although Sir Alex Ferguson is determined to tie him to a new extended contract.
The ScotÂ’s right-hand man, Queiroz, feels the youngster is in exactly the right place to realise his ambitions and is backing him to become the clubÂ’s most important player in the not too distant future.
“Very soon he could become the symbol of Manchester United,” Queiroz stated. ”The ideal club for him is Manchester United.
”There is no reason for him to leave the club because he knows that United is the best club in the world.
”At this time, no club in the world has someone playing so consistently or at the level at which Cristiano Ronaldo is in every game.
”It is not just lip-service to call him one of the best in the world and the individual awards will start to arrive shortly.”
Indeed, Queiroz has warned Ronaldo that the grass is not always greener having had first-hand experience at Real Madrid.
The Spaniards have made clear their determination to prise Ronaldo from Old Trafford, but Queiroz — who had a ten-month spell as manager at the Santiago Bernabeu in 2003/04 — has warned his compatriot that life at Real is very different to the air of glamour and prestige that surrounds the club.
”I have been at Real Madrid and I know the reality of the club,” he continued. “Cristiano is part of the United family and if he stays he will become a symbol of the whole club.
”This is the best Manchester United in recent years and we are where we want to be, a step from becoming champions.”
