There have been rumors recently that Ronaldo is looking for a way out of his contract with Real Madrid after the player expressed his dismay at José Mourinho's negative style of football.

However, Ferguson played down any suggestions that Ronaldo was unhappy at the Bernabeu and could one day return to England.

"It would be very difficult," Ferguson told a press conference. "He had a great time here but he is at a great club now too."

Ronaldo arrived at United as a little-known teenager in 2003 and left as World Player of the Year to join Los Blancos in an £80 million move in July 2009.

Ferguson added: "He had a great time here, we got six years out of him. We got him as a kid and he went to Madrid a man.

"He is enjoying being there and though he might not have been at his best on Wednesday, he is still a great player."
