Khabib Nurmagomedov recently revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo had already told him about his move to Manchester United

Cristiano Ronaldo broke the Internet when he returned to Manchester United after 12 years. The Portugal ace was rumoured to join United’s rivals Manchester City, but flipped the switch (or did he?) to join the Red half.

The football world, especially Manu fans were buzzing, in fact, they still are. He is expected to make his debut on the 11th of September against Newcastle United.

In a recent interview with RT Sport, UFC lightweight GOAT Khabib Nurmagomedov, a close friend of Cristiano Ronaldo, opened up on the star footballer’s move to the Red Devils.

‘The Eagle’ revealed that Ronaldo told him that he was bored in Italy and would like a move to England – English Premier League.

Khabib was quoted as saying:

“I don’t know. I wouldn’t like to reveal out private chat. Well, he told me that he was bored in Italy, and he would like to move to England.” [RT SPORT YouTube]

Khabib and Ronaldo caught up back in 2018, when Ronaldo was still at Real Madrid. It is a well-known fact that Khabib is a massive fan of the Los Blancos.

Khabib Nurmagomedov reveals what makes English Premier League special

English Premier League is the most-watched football league in the world. Millions of fans tune in every weekend to watch the splendid spectacle on display.

In the same interview with RT Sport, Khabib explained why he felt English football “is far superior to” its Italian counterpart.

Khabib said:

“For real, when I watch Italian football – I am not a big fan of it. English football, on the contrary- I would never switch it off. No matter which team is playing, it’s always a spectacle.” [RT SPORT YouTube]
