Cristiano Ronaldo left Juventus for Manchester United this summer. Sampdoria President Massimo Ferrero believes it was the best move for all concerned parties. He claimed that the Portuguese realized he was no longer the player he used to be in Turin.Ferrero was quoted as saying:
"At times it’s better to give up on a few Euro rather than keep someone who doesn’t want to stay with you and because of that isn’t giving their best. It’s better for all concerned that Ronaldo left and it’s better for him that he realized he was no longer the Ronaldo he wanted to be."
