Cristiano has refused to confirm Man United manager Sir Alex
Ferguson's
claim he is staying at Old Trafford.

Ferguson met Ronaldo for clear-the-air talks a week ago and on Friday
Ferguson stated there was no chance that Ronaldo would be quitting
Man
United for Spain.

But Ronaldo, currently on holiday in America as he recovers from an
ankle injury, said: "I've had hundreds of questions about Manchester
United and Real Madrid. What do you want me to say? That i'm going
or i'm
staying?

"I don't know about the future, only God knows it. I can't say
anymore.
Great players are always hounded by great clubs. Its a normal
situation. There are other great players who are in the market who
are good and
who other clubs want.

"I have always been hounded, not only this year. Its not strange for
me
to see what happens."

Real Madrid are ready to offer Ronaldo a massive wage hike, while
United chief executive David Gill ia adamant the winger will not
receive a
pay rise if he stays at United.

But Ronaldo claims any decision on his future will not be based on
money.

"I want to be happy regardless of where i play," said Ronaldo. "I can
be happy everywhere, if i am with people i like, if i am animated,
motivated.

"Am i motivated to continue at United? I am always motivated. I am
ambitious and i always want to improve. I don't know the future but
i will
be motivated."
