Cristiano Ronaldo has for the first time vowed that he do not want to face his former team, Manchester United in the Champions League knock out stages due to respect he has in Sir Alex Ferguson.
The knockout stages draw which will take on Dec 18 will keep the two teams together if Real Madrid overcome AC Milan in their group and if Manchester United finish top position in Group B.
Ronaldo said: "I don't want to play against Manchester. It will be a strange feeling if I play them.
"Mr Ferguson helped me a lot in my career. I was there six years and he taught me many things. I keep the same relationship with him. He's a good friend of mine. I still have the same friends."
The Portuguese winger also said that his ambition is to play football till fourties if his legs will allow him.
He added: "If my legs let me play until I'm 40, I want to play. But I want to be in the first page of history, the same as Maradona and Pele."
Ronaldo is not performing well after his return from injury and he missed a lot of chances when his team was one nil down to Barcelona last week.
