Ferdinand revealed that he persuaded Ronaldo not to sign for Man City
Last night, another news bomb exploded in the summer transfer window, and Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Old Trafford after 12 years. Former superstar teammate Rio Ferdinand has revealed that he contacted Cristiano Ronaldo and tried to persuade the 36-year-old not to sign for Manchester City.
Ferdinand said before United confirming a deal has been agreed:
"It's a beautiful day man, and when it's a beautiful day you've got wear shades
!
"Sir Alex Ferguson would've been exactly the same, he would've hated to see Cristiano Ronaldo in a Man City shirt, just like anyone who’s been connected for a long period of time at this football club.
"I rang him [Ronaldo] straight away: 'What's going on? Tell me you're lying.' Every type of 'no, no, no, no' in the conversation.
"I'm like the fans, we're all the same like that. 'Please tell me you're not going there.'
"I hope that there's an announcement and it's one that I would be happy with. It's the best. We've seen some great signings this summer."
