Cristiano Ronaldo and Alex Ferguson's most beautiful memory

The Portuguese forward recounted the good gesture that Alex Ferguson had with him. "I remember when my father was in the hospital (2005), and I was very emotional, very down, and I spoke to him (Sir Alex) and he told me: 'Cristiano, it doesn't matter, go with him, 2-3 days'. And we had tough matches and I was a key player at that time. He said to me: 'It will be difficult because we have tough matches, but I understand your situation and I release you to go see your father'," he declared to Inside View on the United's official channel.

"For me, this is the most important thing, beyond winning the Champions League, Premier League, or Cups. I really appreciate it because he always fulfilled everything he told me," added the player in that interview in 2021.
