Real Madrid hit back as Ronaldo row heats up

Real Madrid last night hit back in the bitter row over Cristiano Ronaldo - by claiming Manchester United had no grounds to report them to FIFA.

United made a formal complaint to the bosses of world football over the Spanish giants' public pursuit of winger Ronaldo.

But Real president Ramon Calderon insisted: "They don't have any evidence because nothing has happened. All there is are rumours that the player seems to want to leave.

"But at the moment a move is impossible because United don't want to sell him. It's United's right to complain, but we haven't done anything and we are not going to do anything."
