The Portugal international had hinted at dissatisfaction with life at the Santiago Bernabeu during the 2012-13 campaign, with United believed to be plotting a swoop for his services as a result.

However, Ronaldo has now insisted that he will not leave the Spanish capital, despite admitting that the reigning Premier League champions remain firmly in his affections.

"(Manchester United) is a club that has been in my heart since I was there, everyone knows that I have passion with that club. But my future now is with Real Madrid and I want to be there," he said. 

"Of course, I always look forward to getting better and better throughout the season and this year is going to be the same. I will try to be focused all the time, to win La Liga and to win the Champions League like we always do.

"I enjoy playing there, I have been playing in Spain for four years so I want to continue there. For my national team, I hope that we can qualify for the World Cup - it will be a big goal for us - so we are focused on that and I am looking forward to being in the World Cup.

"It is not the day to speak about my future. I am going to have time to do that before the pre-season. Basically it is to rest after 10 months of a long season.

"To rest, to be with my family, my child, my girlfriend and to rest. To rest, go to the beach, get a massage, play a bit of tennis. That is it."

Ronaldo scored on 118 occasions in 292 appearances during his six seasons at Old Trafford, before sealing a world-record £80 million move to La Liga with Real.

The 28-year-old has since stepped up his scoring exploits, plundering an incredible 201 goals in just 199 outings.
