Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has pleaded the club's innocence after the speculation over Cristiano Ronaldo's future at Manchester United took another twist.

On Tuesday, United threatened to report Real to Fifa if they continued to pursue the attempted capture of Ronaldo in an "unacceptable fashion".

The Portugal international's future at Old Trafford has been in doubt in recent weeks with various Real officials publicly speaking about their interest in him.

Real have now moved to ease the growing tension between the two clubs.

Calderon told the club's official website; "We haven't done, nor will we do anything against the wishes of a club that we consider a friend like Manchester United.

"Our relationship with Manchester is magnificent and we will not do anything that would violate the will of a team, just as we would not like that done to us.

"We know Manchester doesn't want to sell and we have nothing to say. It's a problem between the player and his team."
