Manchester United legend and director Sir Bobby Charlton has slammed Real Madrid's public pursuit of
Cristiano Ronaldo.
Charlton, who never courts controversy, chose to make his feelings known over Real's bid yesterday: " Ronaldo's on a long-term contract with us "
"
I don't have to say we expect him to honour it because he will honour it unless something tragic happens. Do I think Ronaldo will be at United next season? Absolutely "
"
It really irritates me how people can set rumours going and undermine people through the media. It's unethical "
"
They have not got the right to undermine the way we have helped this lad. Everybody seems to think that Real Madrid or Barcelona are the two greatest clubs in the world. I don't think I have to tell Cristiano that Manchester United is the biggest club in the world."
