Juventus director reveals why Ronaldo joined Man Utd rather than Man City

Federico Cherubini admits that the Serie A giants were backed into a corner, with the Red Devils behaving more appropriately than their fierce rivals

Juventus director Federico Cherubini has lifted the lid on why Cristiano Ronaldo left the Serie A giants for Manchester United rather than their arch-rivals City, with the Red Devils behaving like a "club with tradition" in transfer talks.

Towards the end of the summer transfer window, it became apparent that the Portuguese superstar had no desire to remain in Turin and would be walking away from the final year of his contract in Italy.
