Cristiano Ronaldo has vowed to give everything in the Manchester United cause this season.

Ronaldo has publicly abandoned his desire to play for Real Madrid - at least until next summer - and instead committed himself to Old Trafford.

Any Red Devils supporters still sceptical after a summer transfer wrangle, which at one stage seemed destined to end in Ronaldo moving to Madrid, need have no fear.

'Before rumours emerge saying that I will play against my will, I want to make this clear - whoever says or writes that is lying,' he told Portuguese newspaper Publico.

'I will play for Manchester with all my heart and soul. I will fight and honour that shirt with the same commitment and dedication as always.

'After we'd won the Champions League, I felt that in five years I had helped win everything there was to win.

'We'd won the Premier League twice and I'd won a host of individual awards, including the best goalscorer in the Premier League, Champions League and in Europe. So, I felt that maybe I needed a new challenge.

'I never hid the fact that I wanted to play in Spain, at Real Madrid in particular, and I thought this could be the right moment. Manchester United and Real are probably the two biggest clubs in the world and it would never be an easy decision to make.'

Ronaldo was adamant the chance to be the world's most expensive player and receive a wage increase at Madrid was not an issue.

'I knew that there would always someone who'd say that my main concern was making more money,' he said. 'Others would insist that my vanity couldn't resist being linked to the biggest transfer fee of all time at the age of 23.

'Of course I proud to see my work recognised, but none of this had any major effect on what I wanted. In fact, if it was just a question of money, I would never leave Manchester United.'
