Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti believes Cristiano Ronaldo is “100 per cent certain” not to rejoin Manchester United next summer.
The Portuguese winger has been in typically brilliant form this season for the reigning European champions but has been strongly linked with a move back to Old Trafford in recent weeks, with a potential return touted by English and Spanish press.
However, Madrid boss Ancelotti believes that Ronaldo has no reason to leave La Liga and will not rejoin his former club.
He told The Sun: “Everyone can be changed and substituted but Ronaldo is now the best in the world and it [would mean] Madrid lose the best player, which is a huge loss.
“But this won’t happen – because Ronaldo will go to the end of his career at Real Madrid. I’m 100% certain he will be here next season not at Manchester United, 100%.
“He’s happy here, he’s loved here by everyone. It’s a perfect relationship at this moment so I don’t think it will change. Ronaldo will finish his career here.”
