Manchester United’s Reason for Getting Cristiano Ronaldo

DBasia.news –  The former Manchester United president, Martin Edwards, told the beginning of the Red Devils decision in hooking Cristiano Ronaldo.

Manchester United got Cristiano Ronaldo from Sporting CP in August 2003. The Red Devils saw Ronaldo’s talent when the two teams met.

After the match the Man United players asked Sir Alex Ferguson to move to bring Ronaldo.

“Ronaldo has great talent even when he was 18 years old. It looked like gambling as so much money was spent,” Edwards said.

“However, Manchester United brought him after the game against Sporting CP. At that time he played and showed all the qualities he possessed,” continued Edwards.

“Indeed, the players are the one who make the decision. After the match, they met Sir Alex Ferguson and asked him to bring Ronaldo. Because, they saw he was a special player,” Edwards said.

“Ronaldo is a special player. It happened because of talent, but also hard work,” Edwards said.
