Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon has promised to give up trying to sign Cristiano Ronaldo.
Manchester United have been upset by Real officials making regular comments about their star player.
"You cannot buy what the owner does not want to sell" - Ramon Calderon
They even threatened to report the Spanish club to Fifa for trying to unsettle one of their players.
But Calderon has promised to back down and wants to rebuild bridges with United.
He said: "You can't buy what the owner does not want to sell.
"Real Madrid are friends with Manchester United and we do not want to fall out with them."
