Manchester United had a busy summer as they brought some big-money signings to Old Trafford. The club was also looking at different options related to the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo. However, the negotiations failed to materialize, and the player stayed at the club for another season. However, that arguably hasn’t gone down too well for both the club and CR7.

Cristiano Ronaldo has recently revealed that he was close to joining the other side of Manchester in the summer of 2021. However, Sir Alex Ferguson intervened, and he joined the Red Devils.

There were several reports of teams interested in signing Ronaldo in the summer. Erik ten Hag reportedly didn’t have the Portuguese in his plans. Both the club and Ronaldo’s entourage were looking at options for a transfer away from the Red Devils. However, his massive wages at United were too big for many teams around Europe.
