Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo looks certain to continue his career at
Old Trafford.
Europe's big guns are casting envious eyes over the 20-year-old Portugal international after a string of superb displays in the Barclays Premiership and for his country.
However it is understood that the young star has agreed a lucrative new five-year deal at United and is due to sign when he returns from holiday.
Should the player, as expected, put pen to paper it would be a massive boost for manager Sir Alex Ferguson in his bid to regain the high ground from
Chelsea.

Rooney are two of the most exciting young players in the world.
Ronaldo has scored 15 goals in 90 games for the Red Devils after moving to England from Sporting Lisbon for £12.5million as an 18-year-old.
He continued his progress last season despite the club failing to win a trophy, lighting up a number of games with his dribbling skills and pace.
Ronaldo signed an initial five-year deal on the lowest wage band and his value now to United is amplified at national level.
He has scored seven goals for Portugal in their World Cup qualifying matches and is second in Europe's goalscoring ranks, ahead of Andriy Shevchenko and Ruud van Nistelrooy.
