Cristiano Ronaldo and Khabib Nurmagomedov

Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov said Portuguese star player Cristiano Ronaldo informed him of his move to Manchester United a month ago.

"Until about a month ago, he told me that he would move to Manchester City. It wasn't a surprise to me. I think Manchester is a better fit for him than Juventus," Habib was quoted as saying by TASS.

Ronaldo, 36, moved to MJ from Juventus Turin. The transfer amounted to 15 million euros.
