Latest - Ronaldo On His Way To Real Madrid & Pele Attacked!

But, after UEFA questioned Real's tactics at trying to coax the Man U star to Spain, president Ramon Calderon has stressed they would not "interfere or create any problems" for Manchester United.

Madrid's public courting of the Portugal winger has outraged United, who have already lodged a complaint with FIFA over what they perceive are attempts to unsettle the 23-year-old.

Ronaldo's United contract runs until 2012 and the club are anxious to dissuade any possible suitors.

On Friday they released a statement insisting they are not interested in listening to offers for Ronaldo.

However, Schuster is unconcerned by that and has made his feelings pretty clear - even if it costs the club a reported £80million transfer fee.

The player himself has yet to reveal where he wants to play next season, although his comments following Portugal's exit from Euro 2008 suggest he would prefer a move to the Bernabeu.

Meanwhile .... arguably the greatest player EVER to kick a football ... Pele, has been attacked and robbed at gunpoint, according to O Estado de Sao Paulo newspaper.

The three-time World Cup winner, considered by many as the world's best ever player, had gold jewellery, a mobile phone and an expensive wrist watch stolen by the 10-strong gang when his chauffeur-driven car was besieged in a traffic jam in Guaruja.

The incident, which also saw other drivers and passengers robbed, happened near a tunnel which connects the Conego Domenico Rangoni road with A Ensenada Beach, close to Pernambuco Beach where Pele has a holiday house. The 67-year-old was unhurt.

The thieves are said to have recognised that their victim was Pele before running away. Local police said they had yet to receive an official report.
