By db-admin
DBasia.news – Former Manchester United player, Rio Ferdinand, has commented on rumors about Cristiano Ronaldo having the opportunity to return to Old Trafford. Ferdinand, who is currently pursuing a career as a commentator, is unsure Ronaldo will rejoin Manchester United.
Cristiano Ronaldo is rumored to be one of the players on Manchester United’s radar. The Red Devils are aware that Juventus does not want to keep the Portuguese player anymore.
According to news that developed in Italy, Juventus had difficulty paying Ronaldo’s salary which reached 30 million euros per season. In addition, CR7 is not included in Massimiliano Allegri’s plans.
Reportedly, Manchester United are willing to include Paul Pogba as part of the deal. Man United believes bringing Ronaldo is a brilliant step because it not only provides an increase in terms of the game, but also income.
However, Ferdinand is unsure Ronaldo and Man United can get back together. According to him, Ronaldo’s story is just a memory.
“I’m not sure the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo will happen. The story has been written and ended. So, I don’t believe there is a possibility that it can happen,” Ferdinand said as reported by The Sun.
Instead of Ronaldo, Manchester United are advised to sign a new defender in the transfer market next summer. Ferdinand considered, Euro 2020 is a good window to choose a new defender.
“What’s positive about the European Cup is that there will be some good centre-backs there. It’s also a matter of who is available. I played in the World Cup and was purchased because of a good season.
However, I also played in big tournaments,” said Ferdinand.
“It was a great opportunity for other people to be in the shop window and be purchased by a big club. Manchester United are in the transfer market looking for a centre-back. It is an extraordinary opportunity for someone,” Ferdinand stated.
