Chelsea loanee Joao Felix has admitted to not being surprised by Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Manchester United in the lead-up to last year's World Cup.
Felix, 23, featured alongside Ronaldo in three games at the Qatar World Cup. His parent club, Atletico Madrid, were linked with bringing Ronaldo back to Spain during the summer, while there were even rumours that the pair could be involved in a swap deal before the January window opened.
United were linked with Felix again after Ronaldo had already left the club earlier this year, but Chelsea eventually sealed the deal. Despite suggestions of the players linking up domestically at one club or another, the Atletico forward understands why Ronaldo ended up leaving Europe entirely.
