Jose Mourinho claims that "Manchester United" did not even consider the possibility of bringing back Cristiano Ronaldo.
According to the coach, such a step is simply impossible, as he is too important to the Madrid "Real" club both on and off the field.
The Portuguese hinted at wanting to leave the UEFA Champions League winners after being accused of tax evasion. However, this bubble quickly burst and now it seems unlikely that we will see the sniper with other jerseys.
"We never thought about it, because in our club he is a very important player and has great economic power," Mourinho said after a friendly match against the Los Angeles "Galaxy."
"We found no reason that would make us think that Ronaldo could leave."
"I don't intend to let my club waste time on players who are 'mission impossible'."
Ronaldo spent six seasons in the ranks of the "Red Devils" in his youth, during which Sir Alex Ferguson's proteges won nine trophies. The sniper worked with Mourinho back when he led the "Real" club.
