Unlike the federation that gave Cantona a severe punishment, Manchester United actually gave great support to Cantona. Especially the coach at the time, Sir Alex Ferguson.

To persuade Ronaldo, Ferguson had to fly directly to Portugal. They met at the home of Carlos Queiroz, Ferguson's former assistant at Manchester United. Fergie knew that Ronaldo wanted to move to Real Madrid, but was held back with all his might after Madrid did not respect Ronaldo's qualities.

"I went to Carlos Queiroz's house in Portugal and got the boy expressing his desire to go to Real Madrid. I told him that he couldn't go that year," Ferguson was quoted as saying by the Mirror in 2021.

"I know you want to go to Real Madrid but I would rather shoot you than sell you to that guy right now. If you can do well and don't mess up, then someone comes with the highest offer in the world, then we will let you go," he said.

A year later, Cristiano Ronaldo actually left Manchester United after Real Madrid submitted a purchase proposal for 80 million pounds sterling in 2009. The value that makes the player the most expensive player in the world.

Ferguson could not refuse Real Madrid's offer. Because he has promised Ronaldo will let him go if he gets an offer that makes him the most expensive player in the world.
