Ron admitted money was tough to resist
Before his Old Trafford exit, Cristiano Ronaldo had already admitted huge sums mentioned over a possible move to Saudi Arabia were extremely difficult to resist.
The Portugal legend, 37, said: “It’s hard – it’s hard. But in the same way, I thought that I was very happy here; that I [am] still capable to score goals and make people happy.
“I still believe that I can score many many goals and help the team because I still believe that I’m still good and capable to help the national team – even Manchester United.
“But if you don’t feel around you that the energy’s on your side, it’s difficult.
“Of course, the criticism is gonna exists all the time. Ah he’s 37, he’s not the same.
“But I want to see if some guy of my age maintains the level that I show. You’re not gonna teach me that. Nobody is gonna teach me that.”
