Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo said he was close to joining Manchester City in the summer of 2021, pointing to Sir Ferguson’s role in changing his face to his current club.
Ronaldo joined the ranks of Manchester United in the summer of 2021, coming from the Italian club Juventus, with a contract that extends for two seasons until the summer of 2023.
“Indeed, I was close to joining City, and they spoke with me a lot to contract with me and Guardiola confirmed this in his statements two weeks ago,” Ronaldo added in the statements of “Livescore”.
The Portuguese star continued: “But I refused to join City because of my history with Manchester United and my heart attached to this club, along with everything I did here before, in addition to the role of Sir Alex Ferguson.
”
Ronaldo explained: “City’s desire to contract with me makes me feel the interest, but I see the rejection of this offer as a conscious decision, and at that moment one follows his heart. ”
“I spoke with Sir Alex Ferguson before returning to the club, and he told me it’s impossible to play in Manchester City, and I said to him well, I will do. ”
He concluded: “My return to Manchester United is a decision that I do not regret, and I made my conscious decision and was good at the time. “.
