Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to join Arsenal in January and would have won them the title of the Premier League if he had signed, said Piers Morgan.
- Released by Red Devils in December
- After an explosive interview with Morgan
- Ended up moving to Saudi Arabia
WHAT HAPPENED? The Portuguese superstar fell into the free agent pool when Manchester United ended his contract in December 2022 following an explosive interview with Morgan. Various landing points were mentioned for the five -time winner of the Ballon d’Or at this stage – from all over Europe and the United States – but he ended up signing the most lucrative contract in world football in Saudi Al -Nassr outfit. Morgan claims that the emblematic 38 years old would have made his way to the Emirates stadium if Arsenal had contacted him – the Gunners currently reflecting on what could have been after abandoning a 12 -point lead at Manchester City in the 2022-23 race for domestic supremacy.
What they said: Morgan, who is fiercely faithful to Ronaldo, posted on Twitter: “Mock everything you like, but if we had signed Ronaldo when he left UTD, until the end of the season – as he was eager to do BTW – we would have won the league. He knows how to earn major trophies and how to mark goals when it really matters. ”
Overview: Arsenal moved to strengthen its ranks in the January window, concluding agreements for Jorginho, Leandro Trossard and Jakub Kiwior. Ronaldo may have only reached three goals for United this season before being inaugurated by outings, but he found the target 12 times through 16 appearances for Al-Nassr to prove that he remains one of the most destructive and reliable finish of the company.

What to follow? Arsenal must now reconstruct the recruitment plans for the summer of 2023, with the glory of the title slipping within their reach, and they continue to be strongly linked to people like the midfielder of West Ham Declan Rice and Brighton Star Moises Caicedo.
