The first star of Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo, spoke in selected words about Sir Alex Ferguson and recalled the period when they wrote together the most important pages in the recent history of the club.
Ferguson was on the United bench when Ronaldo arrived as a teenager, and thanks to the chance he gave him, he became what he is today.
The two of them had a bigger relationship than coach and player, which Cristiano himself pointed out many times.
“Imagine this: you are 18 years old, you come from Sporting Lisbon, and you play with stars like Giggs, Scholes, Keane, and Solskjaer. I was a little nervous, but Ferguson helped me a lot in that period to connect with other players. I remember that he called me to his office from time to time and that we initially communicated through an interpreter. It was no problem. The main thing was what Ferguson told me. He helped me grow both in football and as a person. He helped me from day one and did everything he said. “I always say that Ferguson is like a father to me in football,” said Ronaldo
It is also no secret that Ferguson played an important role in the return of Ronaldo to “Old Trafford”.
