Al-Nassr boss Garcia says he attempted to sign Messi before eventually settling for Ronaldo as he joked with reporters...
On the arrival of Ronaldo, Garcia said: “I think that any coach would be delighted to train a great star like Cristiano and already in November 2021 I was very close to going to United.
“I came very close to coaching this club and was very motivated to go, who wouldn’t be motivated to coach United? Any coach. United’s simple interest has allowed me to be sure of my ambitions in the future. Some fans on social media have criticised Ronaldo for moving to Saudi Arabia but Rio Ferdinand is “happy” for him friend and former Man Utd team-mate.
“He hasn’t been happy for a while so I’m pleased he’s on the verge of finding that happiness, albeit in a country that not many people expected him to go to.
