Manchester United have threatened
to report Real Madrid to Fifa over their
interest in signing Cristiano Ronaldo.
Real coach Bernd Schuster and president
Ramon Calderon have both expressed a
desire to see Ronaldo at the Bernabeu.
But a United statement read:
"We have watched with growing irritation
the comments attributed to Real Madrid
over their alleged desire to sign Cristiano.
"We will have no alternative but to report Real
if it continues to behave in this totally unacceptable fashion."
It added: "These public attempts to unsettle the player
are completely against the regulations and the club will not
tolerate them any longer.
"The player is on a long-term contract and
his registration is held by Manchester United.
The player is not for sale.
"No-one should be in any doubt that
Manchester United will do everything
in its power to keep its best players."
