UNITED owners the Glazers have rejected claims from Spain that they have relented in the Cristiano Ronaldo affair and agreed to do business.

Spanish newspaper Marca has driven the Ronaldo story from the outset and has again been in mischievous mode insisting that sources close to the Reds' American owners had said they "have agreed to the operation" and discussions could begin with Real Madrid.

However, a spokesman for the Glazers told M.E.N. Sport: "It is absolute nonsense. The family completely maintain their original stance and that is that Cristiano Ronaldo is not for sale.

"There have been no developments as far as we are concerned. There has been absolutely nothing said from this end."

Meanwhile, the Bernabeu dressing room is distinctly cool on the possibility that the 23-year-old United star could be among their number this season.

Dutch international Wesley Sneijder said the reported wages Ronaldo could be on if he moves to La Liga would cause trouble in the Real ranks.

"It would be bad for the dressing room because he would earn better wages than the rest of the squad," said Sneijder. "It wouldn't be a problem to me but some team-mates wouldn't fancy it. Here we have players like him, Arjen Robben and Robinho for example.

"For sure I want to play with Cristiano but the dressing room's harmony has to be maintained," Sneijder added.

"For me, this Madrid side do not need new signings," said Sneijder.

"In the last few matches last year we were very solid and the team have grown a lot."

REDS striker Dong Fangzhuo has been named in China's Under-23 squad for next month's Olympic Games in Beijing. Dong missed the last three months of last season with a knee injury but is fully fit again and scored in China's 4-0 victory over Malaysia last weekend.
