Manchester United director Sir Bobby Charlton has insisted Cristiano Ronaldo is not for sale, but was less certain over the future of Ruud van Nistelrooy.
The Red Devils have been forced to field questions on the futures of their key players in recent weeks, with Portuguese star Ronaldo reported to be upset with life at Old Trafford and van Nistelrooy catching the eye of Real Madrid.
Ronaldo is public enemy number one for many England fans following his part in Wayne Rooney's dismissal at the World Cup finals and had been quoted as saying he wanted out of Old Trafford.
The club have vowed to keep hold of their star winger and Charlton says the stance has not changed.
"We have already said publicly about Cristiano, Cristiano Ronaldo is not going anywhere," Charlton told Sky Sports News.
Dutch striker van Nistelrooy endured a tough end to last term as he fell out of favour with Ferguson.
The Scot said recently that he expected van Nistelrooy to report for training, but he has been linked with a move to Real Madrid and Charlton claims Ferguson will have the final say on the Dutchman's future.
"These are the decisions that you will have to address to Alex," added Charlton. "But it is not the club policy to give our best players away."
