He embraced Neville and Keane, but Carragher, who was standing in between them, was barely acknowledged.
“Knowing Cristiano Ronaldo, Jamie Carragher’s been very vocal about Ronaldo being the problem and stuff like that,” explained another former United teammate Rio Ferdinand on Vibe with Five.
Ferdinand says that it is out of the comments that Ronaldo has been seeing from the Liverpool legend that could have necessitated his move.
The Man United legend says that Ronaldo’s action is not regrettable as he’s been a victim of Caragher’s displeasure in his Man United return.
“Cristiano would’ve seen those comments and would’ve been thinking walking over there I’ll just let this guy know with a little… he needs to kind of calm him down, humiliate him and show him up, whatever way you want to dress it up live on TV.
“Cristiano is very calculated, he’s very aware of what’s going on, he’s not somebody who sits at home and switches off.”
“I’ve always said this, he uses social media and people’s comments as fuel to drive him on to be the best he’s done that since he was a young kid.” the former Man United defender said.
