“He isn’t good enough for City” – Fans react to Cristiano Ronaldo’s admission that he was close to join Manchester City over the Red Devils

Sir Alex persisted Cristiano Ronaldo to not join Manchester City and comeback to Manchester United

Cristiano Ronaldo has admitted that he was “this close” to transferring to Manchester City last summer. However, he decided to stay with Manchester United due to Sir Alex Ferguson’s involvement.

Ronaldo claimed that Ferguson urged him to re-join United when he left Juventus in August 2021 on a two-year contract, heading back to the team where he earned eight major trophies from 2003 to 2009. Ronaldo stated in the Piers Morgan interview, “I spoke with him [Ferguson]… He said to me, ‘You can’t come to Manchester City.’

Other teams were keen on buying Ronaldo from Juventus in 2021. But, the 37-year-old pursued “his heart” and returned to Manchester United, even though they weren’t originally in the running for him.
