It was a relief, I had money to last six months or the whole year,” he told The Athletic.
He says he’s been thinking about Ronaldo’s comeback at Manchester United because the last time they were together. “The last time he was there I was there, I was training with him, and now I am a dairy man and I sell oat milk,” he opened up.
