Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United due to "big problem"

Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United because the weather was a "big problem" for him, according to his former United team-mate Gary Neville. Neville claimed nothing anyone said would have changed his mind at the time. Ronaldo joined Man United in 2003 and spent six years at the club. He left the club for Real Madrid. Neville said on Sky Sports: "I think because he did the interview after the 2008 final where he sort of alluded to the fact that he was going, it was almost like you had an advanced warning. So you were almost ready-prepared for it, you knew he was leaving the year after. It was coming, it was obvious that one day he would want to go and experience Madrid and La Liga." Neville continued: "I didn't speak to Cristiano for instance about him staying at the club for longer. I think I may have said to him during the year when he was maybe… the weather was a big problem for Cristiano. "I think he also wanted to obviously live in Spain and do La Liga. But the weather was a big problem for him and I felt like he'd almost travelled his path, he'd done the journey.And I didn't feel that anything I was going to say was going to bring him out of that. "I think generally with players that were leaving there were very few who were leaving to go up. Now Cristiano you could argue going to Real Madrid and winning four or five European Cups is a step for him where he wanted to challenge himself. "The players that were leaving mainly were because they had come to the end of the road for one reason or another, either their contracts had run out, or their age was getting too much, or the manager had had a word with them saying they're not going to play football too much anymore. "Most of the players that left Man United would have wanted to stay. Let's be clear, 99 per cent of the players that left Man United during the time I was there would have stayed if the manager had said you're staying. There's only the one or two per cent who left against the wishes of the club." Source: The Mirror
