The Manchester United player said he was close to joining Manchester City before he joined the club.

The Portugal forward told Talk TV he was betrayed by the club.

He gave more detail on his version of events in the first part of the interview.

He said that it was close to join City.

11 years after he left the club to join Real Madrid,Ronaldo came back to Old United.

It was reported at the time that he was wanted by City and that he decided to sign for United after speaking with his manager.

"My history in Manchester United, your heart, you're feeling the way that you did before, makes the difference," he said. Sir Alex Ferguson is also included.

I talked to him." I was told it was impossible for me to go to Manchester City. I said "OK, boss"

'Young players don't care'

The Portuguese star criticized the attitude and professionalism of the younger players during the interview, accusing them of not respecting their older team-mates.

He said that their hunger is different. They don't care because they have things that are easy and they don't suffer.

All the teams in the world are not the same as my generation.

You can't blame them because they're part of the life and the new generation.

One of the few young players he could praise was Diogo Dalot.

The player said Lisandro and Casemiro are his favorites at the club.

He mentioned Dalot in Manchester United. I don't doubt that he's going to have longevity in football because he's young, he's smart, and he's very professional. I think Casemiro is in his 30s.

'I'd never heard of Rangnick'

Less than two months after he returned to United, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was fired as manager and replaced by Ralf Rangnick, who remained in charge until the end of the season.

The German had been the coach of several clubs in his native country and was credited with changing the way managers view the game.

He was surprised by it.

He said that the man is not a coach. All the world was surprised by the sport directive brought by Manchester United.

"No, of course not," said the man, when asked if he'd heard of the man. The people I talked to didn't know.

I never saw him as the boss because I never agreed with some of the things he said.

'Criticism from ex-players probably jealously'

I don't understand people who want to be on the front cover of the news, or want a new job.

He ended his career at 30. I'm still playing well.

He said that they are not his friends. We aren't having dinner with each other.

It is part of my journey. They don't like me very much so I have to keep going and catch up with people who like me.
