Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has revealed a chat with Cristiano Ronaldo helped assure him ahead of his move from Sporting CP.
Fernandes joined United a year ago from Sporting – and says he spoke to Old Trafford legend Ronaldo, now with Juventus, ahead of the transfer.
He told NBC: “I talked to him, especially because he knows the club better than I do.
“He gave me advice and it was important. I think everything would have been the same way, but when you talk to Cristiano it’s always better. We talked about the club, how big it is and how good it would be for me.
“The opportunity I would have to join a great club, have the opportunity to fight for titles. That was the best advice he gave me. He told me: ‘Go and please the fans and they will love you. So play your game and the best of you will appear’.”
