Cristiano Ronaldo admits Sir Alex Ferguson had a role in his decision to return to Manchester United. Sir Alex is the key.
Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United in the transfer market this summer. United bought him for 15 million euros and contracted for two years, with the option of a year extension.
Previously, Ronaldo was reportedly closer to Manchester City. His agent, Jorge Mendes, is known to have met with Man City but failed to secure a deal.
Manchester United joined in when they found out that Cristiano Ronaldo was open to signing from Juventus. Negotiations went quickly and smoothly until the transaction took place.
The change in direction so quickly from Manchester City to Manchester United, as well as negotiations that went so smoothly, allegedly occurred because of Ronaldo’s relationship with the people at Old Trafford. In particular, it is believed that former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson himself contacted Ronaldo to return.
“As everyone knows, since I joined Manchester United at the age of 18, Sir Alex Ferguson was the key at that time. I remember when we faced Manchester when I was still at Sporting Lisbon,” said Cristiano Ronaldo in his first interview with MU.
“For me, Sir Alex Ferguson was like a father in football to me. He helped me a lot, he taught me a lot and I think he certainly has a big role to play because of the relationship we have, we keep in touch and he’s a great person. normal.”
“I really really like him and he is the main key for me to be in the position I am in, that I joined Manchester United,” added the 36-year-old star.
