UFC legend Khabib Nurmagomedov says that Cristiano Ronaldo knew he was going to Manchester United one month ago.
The Red Devils completed the signing of Ronaldo from Juventus in the final days of the transfer window.
News of his return to Old Trafford was not made public until late last week, while reports in England and Italy suggested he may even go to Manchester City or Paris-Saint Germain.
Khabib said to RT about the Ronaldo to United transfer: “A month ago, he told me he was moving to United.
“I expected this deal to take place. I think that United is more suitable for him than Juventus. For me, the transition was not a surprise.”
Khabib added: “We talk many times – almost every day – but when we met we had a conversation about where we got our motivation from.
“He told me that he wants his son to be his successor. When Cristiano was a kid, he could only dream of having a simple pair of boots.
“But now his son has everything. He fears that his son will not feel the same hunger, the same will.
“People are guided by that will; feel the desire to achieve things. When you have everything, it’s hard to find the right motivation.
“When he told me that, I’m not going to say I was surprised, but I enjoyed listening to him. I realised he is a person not content with one, two or three titles.”
