I Was Almost Going To Sign With Manchester City,” said Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo claims he was on the verge of joining Manchester City before returning to Manchester United out of “heart.”

This week, the Portuguese striker made headlines for saying on Talk TV that he felt “betrayed” by the team.

He provided more information about his version of events at Old Trafford in the first part of the full interview, which was made public on Wednesday.

He said that the decision to join City was quite close.

In August 2021, 11 years after he left the team to join Real Madrid, Ronaldo made his way back to Old Trafford from Juventus.

At the time, it was said that City manager Pep Guardiola was interested in signing him, and although Ronaldo confirmed the interest, he claimed that he ultimately chose to join United after speaking with his former manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

“As you know, my time at Manchester United, and the fact that you’re feeling in your heart the same way as before, is what makes the difference. Sir Alex Ferguson is also a given.

“I spoke to him. It’s difficult for you to visit Manchester City, he told me. I respond, “OK, boss.”
