Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has confirmed that following recent speculation he would happily have Cristiano Ronaldo in his team.
Speaking at his weekly press conference, the 63-year-old addressed the issue of the rumours regarding Ronaldo's possible return, admitting he would be interested in the player.
However, van Gaal was also sure to play down the possibility by suggesting, "It's always a discussion in the papers and I don't think the media shall buy Ronaldo and I don't think Real Madrid shall sell."
For the time being United already have plenty of options at the top end of the pitch and though many people have suggested the likes of Robin van Persie, Radamel Falcao and Wayne Rooney can't all play in the same team, the manager doesn't see it as a problem.
He explained, "I don't think that Falcao interferes with van Persie or [vice versa]. Falcao is a very good striker, I already said that when he came here in his first press conference.
"I like van Persie as well - he is also a very good striker," van Gaal continued, "Then we have Wayne Rooney and Adnan Januzaj, and we also have James Wilson. We have five players for the two striker positions and I have to choose."
