Sir Alex Ferguson’s feelings regarding ’moral-less’ Real Madrid is no doubt going to slip to new debths, as coach Bernd Schuster confirmed to the world that Cristiano Ronaldo is his club’s number one summer transfer target.

Ferguson has already voiced his dislike of Madrid open courting for Cristiano Ronaldo and is expected to be livid by Schuster speaking about the 23-year-old Manchester United winger in a manner that would suggest the signing has been signed, sealed and delivered.

“There are other players we have been looking at but everything has slowed down a little due to all this Cristiano Ronaldo business, seeing as he is the big priority for the club,” said Schuster.

He added: “The English way has been a perfect education for a player with such exceptional individual talent.

“There he has learned to enjoy his football as a complete professional. This means we would get a Cristiano who would arrive here with his lessons learned.”

For his part, the United boss is adamant Ronaldo neither wants to, nor will be, leaving Old Trafford this summer, claiming last week the acid test of the relationship between player and club will not be faced for another two years. Ronaldo is, of course only in the second year of a 5 years Old Trafford deal.

And while Ferguson understands the clear value to him of the 42-goal Ronaldo in his squad, he also spoke of the neccesity to keep strengthening and mentioned his interest in one of United’s high-profile rivals.

“Cristiano would help us in a lot of ways, without a doubt, but we can’t stop with just him,” he explained. “He’ll be expensive and we’ll have to pay a lot of money, but we need more players because he won’t be enough.

“For a few months now we have had a plan and we know what we want, but now Alexander Hleb has been added to that plan. We didn’t know he would be able to leave Arsenal, but now it seems he will.”
