Manchester United chief executive David Gill remains adamant that Real Madrid target Cristiano Ronaldo is simply not for sale.Real are refusing to give up on their pursuit of the Portuguese star, with club president Ramon Calderon determined to lure him to the Bernabeu.
Ronaldo's future has been dominating the headlines all summer as the midfielder has continually refused to rule out a move away from Old Trafford.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has warned Ronaldo off making a move to Madrid saying it would be a mistake and now Gill says United have told the Spanish side they have no plans to sell the skilful attacker.
He told Sky Sports News: "We made it clear to them [Real Madrid] from day one we wouldn't welcome a bid, it wouldn't be accepted and therefore I don't think there is not much point in putting one in.
"That's where we are at with the situation.
"Obviously there has been lots of paper talk and a lot of coverage in the media about it and we understand that.
"But the reality of it is we have been very firm from day one."

Don't talk rubbish...Ronaldo can't go to a better team, he's already in the best team in the world, and he should be grateful that he was given the break...he needs to work out his contract....so don't make me laugh.
Real Madrid only want Ronaldo now that the work has been done to make him what he is today...but look at David Beckham, he was never the same player once he left Man-Utd, the same would happen with Ronaldo...take heed Real Madrid, you've been warned.
Real Madrid should get the message once and for all, what is the good of having one good player, they need more to make a team.
