CRISTIANO RONALDO spoke to UFC palKhabib Nurmagomedov left Juventus to join Manchester United because he was bored in Italy.
According to the MMA legend Ronaldo, he also said he "wanted back to England" and Khabib knew that it would happen a MONTH before the finalisation.
Khabib claimed that he knew Ronaldo would return to England a month before he did, with Man Utd being the obvious destination.
Ron's move to Manchester City and PSG before his deadline week move stunned football.
Khabib, the UFC's longest-running lightweight champion, wasn't surprised.
Sport24 was informed by him:"I don’t want to reveal any personal messages... Ronaldo stated that he was bored in Italy, and wanted to return to England.
"I don't like Italian football. But, I will not switch to the English Premier League. Every team can put on an amazing show."
According to the Russian, Portugal's attacker Ronaldo, 36-year-old, is also "cooler" that his 34-year-old GOAT rival Lionel Messi.
Argentina wizard Messi joined PSG last month from Barcelona, days before Ron was also thought to be interested in the French big-spenders.
Although many would love to see the greats paired together in a pairing, Khabib believes Ron is capable on his own and not for mere ability.
The 32-year-old retired cage fighter said that Cristiano had been at the top for 17 year.
"In 2004, he reached the final of the European Championship. Now it's 2021, and he's still scoring.
"There has never been a phenomenon in football like that... I think Messi was at his peak for 12 years and Cristiano 17.
"I think Ronaldo is cooler Cristiano is cooler, I believe.

Ronaldo will make his United debut on Saturday, when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s third-placed side hosts winless Newcastle in Premier League.
Khabib told RT last week that he had revealed to him that he was moving to the United States a month ago.
"I was expecting this deal to happen. He is better suited to United than Juventus, I believe."
