Ronaldo speaks on Sir Alex Ferguson

Juventus star, Cristiano Ronaldo, has spoken about how former Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson helped his career during his time at Old Trafford.

Ronaldo, who recently joined Juve from Real Madrid earlier this summer in a 100-million-euro deal, reflected on his early years at United.

“Of course, in the beginning of my career, Alex Ferguson was so important to me because I moved from Sporting to Manchester and I had that Portuguese mentality 

 too many stepovers, decision making was not the best,” Ronaldo said in an interview with streaming broadcaster DAZN.

“So Ferguson taught me how to do it. You know, in the Premier League they don’t fall over so easy, they are tough.

“As I’ve said many, many times, he taught me everything. He was like a father to me. He helped me a lot at Manchester United.”

Ronaldo arrived in Manchester United in 2003 as the most expensive young player in English football at the time.

He spent six seasons with the Red Devils.

The forward won three Premier League titles and the first of his five Champions League titles before joining Real Madrid for £80 million in 2009
