The Associated Press caught up with Sir Alex Ferguson in Durban, South Africa to speak about the never ending transfer saga of Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo gave a brief interview to ESPN while staying in Los Angeles, but refused to comment on Ferguson’s words that he will remain a Red Devil for the upcoming season.
Ferguson stated that he believed that Real” Madrid is the worst thing for Cristiano’s career.”
“After the Champions League final, he was the happiest boy in the world,” Ferguson said Monday from Man United’s tour of South Africa. “I think he knows genuinely where the best club is to be at, and that is Manchester United.
“I honestly believe that the worst thing he could do is go to Real Madrid. He’s 23 years old, he is at the right club, he is at a fantastic club and there should not be any need to think in any other way.”
“He signed a five-year contract last year and he still has four years left,” Ferguson said. “That’s definite—I know that. I’ve seen his signature.
“Young lads can be twisted by the talk of money and moves that are happening all the time in modern day football.”
Ronaldo will not return to the pitch until at least October because of his recovery from ankle surgery.
mini war of words at it’s best.
