“I mean, for any Manchester United fan, we could have had a million people there, without a doubt in the stands, there were a lot of fans outside the stadium, hundreds outside, when (Ronaldo) was here at a young age, He learned very quickly and became a great player.”

He continued: “Some accused him of acting and falling into the penalty area and a lot of other things, that there is a spell that makes him able to do what he does in matches, but after that, he attacked against defenders fiercely, and all he needed is to encourage him to dribble any player in front of him very quickly, Because he has the desire and drive to succeed.

He stressed, “He sacrificed a lot to be the best. I remember that we were preparing one day to face Arsenal and it was raining in the training headquarters. I told him, and as you know he was always training after training, we have a meeting tomorrow and the floor is wet, then I went to my office and looked out the window and what did I see? I found him training.” “On the artificial turf. I had no arguments, I couldn’t say anything, and I had no doubts that he would do so despite the weather.”

Ronaldo spent 6 years in Manchester United, before moving to Real Madrid to break records over 9 seasons, before moving to Juventus, to finally return to the Red Devils battalion, in which his star emerged.
