Ronaldo, 23, was Real's top transfer target during the summer but Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson kept hold of his man and Calderon maintained Real will not come knocking again until they are prepared to sell.

"It is forgotten, not only for January but forever," said Calderon. "We would only talk about it if Manchester decide they want to sell him. But the matter is over."

He added: "We talked about it last season. Manchester decided not to sell the player and we don't want to do anything against a club like Manchester.

"The player decided to stay in Manchester and we accept it. Madrid is not doing anything to disturb a 'friend club' like Manchester.

"We are two very big clubs. We want to be good friends forever. We are in the same market.

"I have a lot of respect for Manchester. I have a good relationship with David Gill and I want it to be like that for a long time."
