Cristiano Ronaldo said his move from Juventus to Manchester United was ‘the best decision that I have made’ and stressed he aims to ‘carry on’ where he left off.
The Portuguese was linked with a move away from the Bianconeri all summer but left it late before completing a desired transfer to re-join the Red Devils.
The 36-year-old is currently on international duty with Portugal and will join his new teammates after the break.
Ronaldo left Turin after scoring 101 goals in 134 competitive games with Juventus and his move to United was confirmed yesterday.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, who picked up two Scudetti and one Coppa Italia during his time with the Old Lady, was interviewed by the club’s official channel and said re-joining United was ‘the best decision’.
“I think it was the best decision that I have made,” Ronaldo said in an interview with MUTV. “It’s right on point in my opinion.
“I moved from Juve now to Manchester, it’s a new chapter, I’m so happy and glad, and I want to carry on again, to make history, to try to help Manchester achieve great results, to win trophies and number one of them, to win great things.”
Juventus have replaced Ronaldo with the signing of Moise Kean on loan with an obligation to buy from Everton.
