We’re going to try, we have to do it. That’s what I should say,” he added.

He can help a lot because he knows the club and he should listen to its legends: you (Ferdinand), Roy Keane, Paul Scholes or Gary Neville. Anyone, Sir Alex Ferguson. You can’t rebuild a club without knowledge. The guys in the office don’t understand it,” said the captain of the club. Al Nassr.

Finally, Ronaldo He spoke about the changes taking place at Old Trafford. “Things are starting to change: the structure of the club, the president, the infrastructure. I am happy, not because of how everything happened, but in the same way, sometimes we cannot control some aspects of our life, but what is done is done.”
