Cristiano Ronaldo has committed his future to Manchester United by signing a lucrative new five-year contract.

The Portuguese international had been strongly linked with a summer move to Barcelona; but speculation suggesting that the winger was set to leave Old Trafford has been squashed with the news that Ronaldo has penned a new deal reportedly worth £25million.

"I am delighted. I spoke with Sir Alex Ferguson about my future and everyone knew that I wanted to stay," said the 22-year-old.

"I am very happy at the club and I want to win trophies and hopefully we will do that this season."

Ronaldo has been on superb form for United this season and the news will come as a massive boost to supporters at a crucial stage of the season.
