Patrice Evra, the French defender of Manchester United, today claimed that he was certain all the while about the decision of Christiano Ronaldo in regards to staying at the Old Trafford Club.
The star of Portugal, who dazzled every European football club with his previous season’s performance, was subject of a long transfer saga at the beginning of the transfer season. Spanish Giants, Real Madrid, made an attempt at breaking records for snagging him from Red Devil’s clutches.
Despite Ronaldo’s admitting his desires of leaving his current and playing at the Bernabeu, he ultimately made a decision of staying at Old Trafford for one more time.
The Portuguese winger is expecting more of a mixed reception from the Red Devil’s fans at the beginning of the season. His feelings are mainly on the grounds that for his antics, the dressing room of the European & English Champions was at unrest for a long time. However, his Manchester United teammate Evra felt otherwise.
During the interview with L’Equipe, Frenchmen said that he always believed the winger will stay at the club.
He continued saying that the two exchanged several phone calls all the time. Evra even confirmed receiving a text message sent from the highest goal scorer of the previous season, where the latter confirmed his stay.
According to Evra, it was media, who gave ignition to the story, which was closed long back.
He feels that there should be no problem with the player at the club. If things go accordingly, Ronaldo will have a season similar to the previous one, meaning full of goals and flair.
