The 22-year-old Portuguese winger, the subject of interest from Real Madrid in the recent past, is happy at Manchester United - but would love to experience the Primera Liga one day.

Ronaldo - speaking in Zurich where he finished third in the voting for the FIFA world player award behind AC Milan's Kaka and Barcelona's Lionel Messi - said: "I would like to play for a Spanish club one day - I don't know if it is possible, but it is my dream."

He added: "Sometimes I want something and it's not possible. But this is my dream. It's a fantastic league where they play beautiful football, but I am convinced the English league is the most competitive in every aspect.

"I feel very comfortable in the English league; I think it's beautiful, and if I stay in Manchester that would be great for me - I love the club; I love the supporters, and it would be amazing for me to stay there for many years.

"But maybe one day, only God knows whether it will happen, I would like to play for a Spanish team and experience the difference."
