Ronaldo posts emotional farewell message, photos to Juventus fans after rejoining Manchester United

Cristiano Ronaldo on Friday posted an emotional farewell message to Juventus fans after sealing a deal to rejoin Manchester United.

He admitted he did not achieve ‘all that we wanted’ but stressed ‘I gave my heart and soul’ for the club.

Manchester United have agreed to re-sign Ronaldo in a £19.4million deal, with his three-year spell at Juventus coming to an end.

On Instagram Ronaldo posted a video of some of his most memorable moments in a Juventus shirt which was accompanied by a message.

Ronaldo stated that he gave his ‘heart and soul’ for Juventus and that the club ‘achieved great things’ but ‘not all that we wanted’.

Ronaldo wrote: ‘Today I depart from an amazing club, the biggest in Italy and surely one of the biggest in all of Europe.

“I gave my heart and soul for Juventus and I’ll always love the city of Turin until my final days. The ‘tifosi bianconeri’ always respected me and I tried to thank that respect by fighting for them in every game, every season, every competition.

“In the end, we can all look back and realize that we achieved great things, not all that we wanted, but still, we wrote a pretty beautiful story together.”

Ronaldo signed a four-year deal with Juventus in 2018 and proceeded to score 101 goals for the club in 134 appearances.

During his time in Italy, Ronaldo won the Serie A title twice as well as the Coppa Italia.

However, he was unable to add to his collection of five Champions League winners’ medals.

Last season, Juventus finished in fourth place in Serie A, 13 points adrift of champions Inter Milan.

The 36-year-old made his final appearance for Juventus as a substitute in a 2-2 draw with Udinese last weekend.
