Cristiano Ronaldo launches scathing attack on the weather at Old Trafford prompting rumours that he may wish to leave England.
Ronaldo has signed a new contract this season but he has been constantly linked with a move away from the Premiership.
He has indicated that he would like to move to Spain at some point in his career and is rumoured to have been courted by Valencia and Real Madrid.
Despite slamming the rain in Manchetser, Ronaldo insisted that he had no desire to leave United. He has been in good form this season earning a place on the shortlist for the PFA young player of the year award.
Ronaldo told Sky News: "I like to play for Manchester - better than [I like] the weather. The weather is very difficult for me because you see snow, every time and rain.
"It's difficult compared to Portugal, where you see sun every day, which is why it's difficult for me. But the club is massive and I'm very happy for staying here."
Ronaldo came to Old Trafford in 2003 from Sporting Lisbon for a little over £12 million and has established himself in the first team.
