Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has revealed that Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo regularly asks about how things are going at his former club.
According to a recent report on the Manchester United website, the two Portuguese players have been communicating often, and in the latest episode of Box to Box, Fernandes mentioned that Ronaldo is always eager to learn about the latest development at Old Trafford.
Even though he parted ways with the club years ago, it appears there is no love lost between Ronaldo and his former club, hence his concern for them.
Fernandes, who joined Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team in January 2020, has made a positive impact on the club and denies seeking advice from Ronaldo before his move from Sporting Lisbon.
Fernandes said:
I spoke with him after, not before. I said before – Manchester, for me, was the dream team.
I always wanted to play for this team and it doesn’t matter who can talk about it – bad or good, I will come.
It was my dream to play in the Premier League,”he added.“I have the choice to come to Manchester United and it was two dreams in one. It was perfect.
Of course, I spoke with Cristiano after and he spoke very well about the club. I spoke with him some days ago, again.
Every time I speak with him, he asks me how Manchester is and if everything is okay. Everyone knows he spent a lot of time in Manchester and he has consideration for the club. He likes the club, I think he won his first Ballon d’Or here, so it’s a club who’ve marked him, for sure.”
