Why I signed Cristiano Ronaldo – Ole Gunnar Soskjaer

The Norwegian was speaking in an exclusive phone interview with the Athletic about life at the club and most especially his reason for signing Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese international was not happy with the way things were at Juventus during the 2021 summer transfer window and he was looking for a new club before the window closed.

There were a lot of offers for Ronaldo according to reports he was close to joining Manchester City until Sir Alex Ferguson stepped into the situation and that convinced the laster to join the Red Devils.
