Andrea Pirlo is unsure what went wrong for Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United and emphasised his professionalism under his management at Juventus.
Ronaldo joined Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia at the start of the year after seeing his contract terminated by mutual agreement at United. The 38-year-old was sacked by United after giving a bombshell interview to Piers Morgan in which he lamented the way he had been treated by the club.
His move to the Middle East came after a series of incidents at Old Trafford, which included slapping a phone out of the hand of an Everton fan, storming down the tunnel early more than once and sulking on the substitutes’ bench. United eventually grew tired of his lack of professionalism, but Pirlo was bemused by what he saw, having worked with him at Juventus.
