In the summer, the hammer transfer was perfect: After three years, Cristiano Ronaldo (36) left Juventus Turin. The five-time world footballer moved to his former club Manchester United.
A superstar has also played for both clubs: Patrice Evra (40). And now the Frenchman revealed the supposedly real reasons why Ronaldo left Juve.

Evra believes the desire for “love and respect” played an important role in the summer move. Ronaldo felt he was being treated unfairly at the Allianz Stadium, Evra said.
Ronaldo would have noticed that he was made the “scapegoat” in Turin for the poor results of Juve. Many would forget that it is not easy to win in the Italian Serie A.
In addition, Juve boss Andre Agnelli would have played an inglorious role in the Ronaldo change. He had stated that Ronaldo’s time as the team’s superstar was slowly coming to an end.
Evra: “Allegri’s words also played a role in Ronaldo’s departure. He said: ‘Ronaldo is not going to play all the games.’ There is no reason to say something like that in public, you should just keep it to yourself, because Cristiano is deeply affected by such things. “
