Ronaldo is happy to sell more shirts than Messi
"With the signing of Man Utd in the summer of 2021, you broke the record of selling shirts in the first 24 hours of a guy named Messi at PSG," said Morgan wittily.
Ronaldo smiled when he heard this MC's sentence, then smiled when he mentioned Messi. "Of course I'm happy," he said. "I'm not chasing the record, it's chasing me. It's just another record on my list."
According to LoveTheSales.com, just 12 hours after Man Utd opened for sale, fans spent up to $ 45 million to buy a shirt with Ronaldo's name and number. According to Fanatics, Ronaldo was the best shirt seller in the 24 hours after moving to a new club. He broke the record set by Messi a few weeks earlier, when the Argentine superstar left Barca to go to PSG.
Morgan also reported that Man Utd's announcement on Twitter about the re-signing of Ronaldo was the most liked post in the history of this social network.
Ronaldo also said that he himself was surprised when he chose Man Utd instead of Man City. "My perspective has changed in just 72 hours," he said. "The key is that I have a history with Man Utd, so my heart spoke. Moreover, the impact of coach Alex Ferguson also changed my opinion."
Ronaldo was very close to the prospect of joining Man Utd at the end of August 2021, but chose Man Utd. He repeatedly mentioned the word "sober", when talking about this decision. "I have no regrets," he added.
Ronaldo's stats weren't bad in his first season, with 24 goals in 38 games in all competitions. But this season, he has only started four of 10 matches in the Premier League, scoring one goal. With statements disparaging Man Utd, coach Erik ten Hag and former players, Ronaldo is said to have no future at Man Utd.
The first part of Ronaldo's interview video is about 47 minutes long, posted on the evening of November 16, London time. Morgan said there were nearly 400,000 views of the video online, breaking his channel's record. Part two will premiere on November 17.
