Manchester United and Chelsea are to be told publicly that they have no chance of signing Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Real Madrid player has been making noises to suggest he is unsettled at the Bernabeu, an issue understood to relate to falling down the highest-earners pecking order.

The Ballon d'Or holder is paid around £288,000-a-week but has slipped behind former team-mate Wayne Rooney and recent arrivals at Manchester United, Radamel Falcao and Angel Di Maria.

With Ronaldo expressing discontent, rumours of a return to the Premier League have surfaced. The player himself said in a recent interview: "I love Manchester.

"Everyone knows that — I have said it many times. Manchester is in my heart. I left many good friends there, the supporters are amazing and I wish I can come back one day."

It's understood Real Madrid want to put an end to the speculation with the Evening Standard reporting that the Champions League holders have decided to issue a hands-off statement.

The Evening Standard also quote a Spanish insider as saying: "This is all about money. Cristiano considers himself to be one of the world’s greatest players and doesn’t want to be paid less than anyone else, no matter who they play for.

"But Madrid are in no mood to let him go and will almost certainly end up giving him whatever he wants. He’s too important for them to let go."

It will be interesting to see where Louis van Gaal decides to play the Colombian hitman - will he start alongside Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie, will he replace one of them, or will he start from the bench? Getty Images The 10 debutants to look out for this weekend Luke Shaw (Manchester United) Brought in on a massive fee, the English teenager has been roundly criticised for failing to get fit in time for the new season. With Ashley Young struggling as Van Gaal's left wing-back Luke Shaw should come in and immediately be an upgrade in the position. United and England fans will certainly be hoping so. GETTY IMAGES The 10 debutants to look out for this weekend Marcos Rojo (Manchester United) Almost a month after arriving at Manchester United, and four games into the season, Argentine defender Marcos Rojo finally has a passport and should play. Louis van Gaal's team have looked porous at the back and the fiesty defender should add some bite to the back-line. Getty Images The 10 debutants to look out for this weekend Daley Blind (Manchester United) A Louis van Gaal favourite, Daley Blind is a versatile player capable of slotting in across the defence, at wing-back or in central midfield. Classy and composed on the ball, Blind is a clever player - it'll be interesting to see where the Manchester United boss opts to play the utility man. twitter.com/ManUtd The 10 debutants to look out for this weekend Danny Welbeck (Arsenal) Danny Welbeck was brilliant for England in Switzerland, scoring two goals and showing all of the energy and enthusiasm that has made him a manager's favourite. Arsenal were desperately in need of cover after the injury to Olivier Giroud and Gunners fans will be hoping the £16m striker hits the ground running. Getty Images The 10 debutants to look out for this weekend Alex Song (West Ham) Although he never managed to break into the first team in two years at Barcelona, Alex Song is undoubtedly a top quality player. West Ham needed to add goals and flair to their struggling side and Sam Allardyce will be hoping Song can get close to the 11 assists he provided for Arsenal in the 2011-12 season. Getty Images The 10 debutants to look out for this weekend Hatem Ben Arfa (Hull City) Undoubtedly a hugely talented player, the French winger will be hoping a fresh start at a new club revitalises his career. Ben Arfa was frozen out at Newcastle but he should become an important attacking option for Steve Bruce. Getty Images The 10 debutants to look out for this weekend Abel Hernandez (Hull City) Steve Bruce has spent the majority of the money he received for the sale of Shane Long on the 24-year-old Hernandez. The Uruguayan had an excellent season in Serie A last year scoring 14 goals for Palermo, but is a bit of a wildcard. The pacey striker will look to develop the same kind of partnership Long enjoyed with Nikica Jelavic last season GETTY IMAGES The 10 debutants to look out for this weekend Sandro (QPR) The Beast was one of Tottenham's best players the year before last but injuries have limited the amount of time spent in the middle of midfield for Spurs. Back with old manager Harry Redknapp expect the Brazilian to find his best form and add quality to the Rangers midfield. Getty Images The 10 debutants to look out for this weekend Ricky Alvarez (Sunderland) Alvarez's signature is a coup for Gus Poyet and Sunderland. The tall Argentina midfielder oozes class and was impressive for Inter Milan last season with four goals and eight assists, before being selected for the World Cup. Sunderland struggled for goals last season and will be hoping Alvarez can provide a spark for their strikers. Getty Images
