Cristiano Ronaldo was reportedly close to joining Manchester City in the summer, but the Portugal forward finally move to his former club Manchester United from Juventus and his ex-international teammate Luis Figo stressed that his compatriot made the right decision.
Figo, who departed Barcelona to join fierce rivals Real Madrid in the past, indicated that a potential Ronaldo move to the Sky Blues would frustrate the team's fans.
"Personally, I think that Manchester United is the best choice for Cristiano because it's a place that he knows," Figo told GiveMeSport.
"He has [made] history at the club, the fans love him and I think it's the best place to be in the last part of your career.
"If you go to a competitor club, I think there will be more problems in terms of the concerns of the fans. So, I think it is the best choice [in order] to have fewer problems and continue [making] history for the club."
Ronaldo has hit the ground running in his second spell at Manchester United as he has already netted four times in three games across all competitions.

The only trophy Ronaldo can win this season. Ooh hold on, Westham united may have just made Ronaldo trophy less....It's very sad and hard to believe but with Ole at the wheel is highly possible no trophy....π₯
