“I don’t want to disclose any personal messages… Ronaldo said he was bored in Italy and wanted to go back to England,” he told Sport24.

“I’m also not a fan of Italian football, [but] the English Premier League I won’t switch over. Any team there can put on a show.”

“Cristiano has been at the top for 17 years,” he added. “In 2004 he was in the final at the European Championship, and now it’s 2021 and he’s still scoring.”

“There’s never been a phenomenon like that in football… I think Messi’s been at his peak for about 12 years, and Cristiano 17.”

“In my opinion, Ronaldo is cooler…. Cristiano is much cooler, I think.

“Messi is one of the best in history. But if in the game they’re equal, then in charisma Cristiano is more powerful.”

“A month ago, he told me that he was moving to Manchester United,” Nurmagomedov told reporters in Moscow via RT News.

“I expected this deal to take place. I think that Manchester United is more suitable for him than Juventus. For me, the transition was not a surprise.”
