Silky Smooth Florentino Perez Strokes United and Sir Alex To Try To Land The 2nd Best Player In The World, Cristiano Ronaldo:

"If one day there is a chance of [Ronaldo] playing for Real Madrid, that would be an honour for us," he told The Times.

"But if I had to choose between the friendship with Manchester United and the signing of Ronaldo, I would choose the friendship.

"Plus, I have never said that Cristiano will arrive in June. That is an arrogant and false statement."

He continued: "I shall be talking with [United manager Sir Alex] Ferguson and [chief executive] David Gill to build bridges.

"If we sign Kaka from Milan, I can assure you that we will still have a very good relationship with [vice president Adriano] Galliani." (Source)
