The key call for the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United

He is considered her sports father and is an authoritative voice. Álex Ferguson, Cristiano Ronaldo's former coach at Manchester United, was decisive for the 36-year-old world star not to sign for Manchester City and instead seal his return to the 'Red Devils', according to the English press.

After confirming his departure from Juventus to return to Manchester United, Ferguson's call to Ronaldo came to light, who in the last hours changed his mind when his move to Manchester City was imminent. After leaving Manchester United in 2009, the relationship between Cristiano and Ferguson remained valid and on more than one occasion they showed their good chemistry off the pitch and at the events where they were invited.

In 2018, Cristiano revealed that Ferguson had a good gesture and since then he valued their friendship more. The United manager did not hesitate to give him permission to travel and see his father who was sick.

"My dad was sick in London, in a hospital in a coma. I had a conversation with him (Ferguson) and I said: 'Boss, I'm not feeling well, we have important moments with the team but I want to see my dad. He said: 'Cristiano, if you want to go away for a day, two or a week, we are going to miss you because you are important, but your dad is in first place", detailed Cristiano Ronaldo at that time.
