It did not take long for Cristiano Ronaldo to decide which of the two Manchester clubs he wanted to join.

At one stage, Manchester United fans feared that Ronaldo could sign for Manchester City after reports claimed that the Citizens were the favourites.

However, after an anxious wait for 24 hours, the Red Devil fans were relieved that the 'GOAT' signed for them. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner spent six years at Old Trafford from 2003 to 2009. During this time, he made 292 appearances and scored 118 goals. The Portuguese international also helped Manchester United to win three Premier League titles (2006-07, 2007-08, 2008-09), one FA Cup (2003-04), two Football League Cups (2005-06, 2008-09) and the elusive UEFA Champions League (2007-08).

"Ronaldo is a legend of the club and the greatest player of all time, if you ask me. I didn’t think he'd leave Juventus. We've always had good communication, and I know Bruno (Fernandes) has been talking to him. He knows what we feel about him. If he was ever going to move away from Juventus, he knows we're here."
