The forward for Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo, recently spoke with Piers Morgan on the programme "Talk TV," which sparked a lot of controversies. One of them is the likelihood that he would have joined Manchester City during their summer transfer window. Due to his legendary status with Manchester United, everyone was interested, but the transaction ultimately fell through. Everyone concurs with that, but they cannot agree on who was rejected by whom.
In the interview, the Portuguese player said why he didn’t want to move to the Etihad Stadium. “I was very close to, it’s something I spoke a lot about. They tried really hard. Guardiola did everything possible to take me to Man City, but my heart, my feelings, what I’d done beforehand and Sir Alex Ferguson made the difference.” The “Daily Mail” has the other side of the story.
Mike Keegan, a journalist, says that the Sky Blues are very surprised by these comments, since they decided not to sign CR7. He said it in a way that made it sound like Ronaldo chose to go to Manchester United when City said they turned him down.
In any case, the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo wasn’t going to play for Manchester City made people talk about it on social media. They want him to join Pep Guardiola’s team for the next season. Erling Haaland has scored the most goals for the team, and it will be hard for the Portuguese to take his place.
