And the clip ends with Fergie who earnestly said:

"You've got to understand, some things are bigger than a football club."

Recall that Sir Ales Ferguson signed the Portuguese ace to United from Sporting Lisbon in 2003. And in the next six years, the 36-year-old went on to become one of the best players in the world.

He scored 118 goals and provided 76 assists in 293 games before earning a then-world record £80million move to Real Madrid.

How Ferguson convinced Ronaldo to return to Man Utd

Details of how Cristiano Ronaldo dumped his move for Manchester City to return to Manchester United have emerged following a call from Sir Alex Ferguson.

Ronaldo will face Pep Guardiola’s side on Saturday, but it could have been the other way round as the blue half of Manchester almost landed the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.

It seems unimaginable that Ronaldo would be playing against the Red Devils, but that almost happened until Ferguson had to wade in.

Ferguson's 2011 regret

TUKO.co.ke earlier reported of how Sir Alex Ferguson has expressed regret over not instructing Park Ji-Sung to man-mark Lionel Messi during the 2011 Champions League final.

Ferguson disclosed that, had he made the decision, Manchester United would have defeated the Catalan giants to lift the prestigious title that year.

Messi was sensational in the encounter, especially in the second half, when he scored a beauty and also made an assist to inspire his side to a 3-1 win.
