JAKARTA - Former MMA fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov claims he has been aware of Cristiano Ronaldo's planned return to Manchester United since a month ago.

Quoted from Antara from Football Italia, Saturday, Khabib said the negotiations that took place did not surprise him because Ronaldo had informed him beforehand.

"I'm not surprised by the negotiations, Cristiano Ronaldo told me that a month ago," said Khabib, who is a good friend of Ronaldo.

Apart from believing that Ronaldo's agreement to MU will happen sooner or later, Khabib thinks his friend is more suited to playing at Old Trafford than at Juventus.

"And I have predicted sooner or later this deal (Ronaldo's move to MU) will happen. I think Manchester United is more suitable for him than Juve," said Khabib.

Ronaldo's move to Manchester United certainly surprised many after 11 years apart and managed three English Premier League titles, two League Cup titles, one FA Cup title and one Champions League title for the Red Devils.

In addition, Ronaldo also managed to carve 118 goals and 69 assists from 292 appearances for the Red Devils in all competitions.
