Ronaldo: Ferguson knows there has been zero progress since he left

returned to

last year and managed to score 24 goals but the team finished in the sixth position.

Ronaldo wanted to leave Manchester United last summer but in the end, he stayed at the club but only has started four league games this season.

In an explosive interview with Piers Morgan Uncensored, the former Real Madrid star revealed that he rejected Manchester City's offer because of Ferguson and criticised Ralf Rangnick's appointment as Ole Solskjaer's replacement.

"I followed my heart,"

he said. "[Sir Alex] said to me,

'It's impossible for you to come to Manchester City,' and I said, 'Okay, Boss.'

"Since Sir Alex left, I saw no evolution in the club. The progress was zero. After sacking Ole [Gunnar Solskjaer], they bring in sport director Ralf Rangnick, which is something nobody understands. This guy is not even a coach.

"A big club like Manchester United bringing in a sporting director surprised not only me, but all the world."

Ronaldo also said that even Ferguson knows that Manchester United has not any progress since he retired in 2013. 

He continued:

"I think the fans should know the truth. I want the best for the club. This is why I come to Manchester United.

"But you have some things inside that don't help [us] reach the top level as City, Liverpool and even now Arsenal. A club with this dimension should be top of the tree in my opinion, and they are not, unfortunately.

"As Picasso said, you have to destroy it to rebuild it, and if they start with me, for me, it's not a problem.

"I love Manchester United, I love the fans, they're always on my side. But if they want to do it different, they have to change many, many things.

"He [Sir Alex] knows. Everyone knows. The people who don’t see that, it's because they don't want to see; they are blind."
