Cristiano Ronaldo wanted by Sporting Lisbon and Mourinho's Roma

That Man Utd have failed to qualify for the Champions League has led to talk of Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Old Trafford despite the Portuguese trying to put those rumours to bed.

"I was happy, of course, to be back in a club that really raised my career, so it was unbelievable. I was and I'm still very happy to be here. The records come naturallly. I'm still motivated to just keep on working hard. And, of course, Man Utd and my teammates helped me all the time," Cristiano Ronaldo said.

In Italy, in the newspaper 'La Repubblica', to be precise, they say that the Portuguese star says it is fundamental he is playing in the Champions League, competition in which he is the top scorer ever.
