Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard has spoken of his admiration for Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo, but played down any suggestion of a possible transfer swoop for the Portugal international.Speaking ahead of his side´s Copa del Rey match with Real Zaragoza on Wednesday night, Rijkaard described Ronaldo as a "great player" but insists any reports of Barca making a bid for the player were purely speculation."Without doubt he is one of the most valuable players in world football, but now they are just rumours, there is nothing concrete," said the Dutchman. "I have to say that yes, he is a great player, but we cannot do anything else at this moment."
