Ronaldo will never return to Man U and end his career at Real: Agent

Portuguese football team captain Cristiano Ronaldo's agent has revealed that the forward would play out the rest of his career at Real Madrid, shunning reports of return to Manchester United.

Ronaldo has been linked with a sensational return to United in the past few weeks after reportedly growing frustrated at the Bernabeu. However, his agent Jorge Mendes said insists that his client is happy in Real and aims to stay until his playing days are over.

Mendes said that Ronaldo would retire at Real when he turns 40, adding that he is very happy at the Spanish club. He said that it is impossible to lure the striker away from Real as he breaks all the records and is regarded as the best athlete ever, The Mirror reported.

Mendes said that Ronaldo is happy at Real and has always been happy there.

Ronaldo had previously indicated he would love to end his career at Old Trafford, where he enjoyed great success between 2003 and 2009. But Mendes believes that the striker's status as the world's greatest player means a deal could never be struck.

Mendes added that United would always have a place in Ronaldo's heart, because he spent six years there. But he also said that the Portuguese international is only thinking about Real now and will always stay there.
