Alatanta Coach Express Regret Over Ronaldo Joining Manchester United

  • Atalanta boss has expressed his sadness to see Ronaldo as a Manchester United player
  • Describes him as an incredible goal-scoring machine

Ekohotblog reports that Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini has expressed his regret and said he was sad to see Cristiano Ronaldo leave Juventus for Manchester United in the summer.

Gasperini was speaking on the eve of United’s Champions League visit to Atalanta which marks the 35-year-old Ronaldo’s first appearance in Italy since his return to Old Trafford.

Ronaldo returned to Manchester United in August on a two-year contract, with an option for an extension, for an initial £12.86m fee.

So far this campaign, the Portuguese has made seven Premier League appearances, netting four times while assisting once including a late winner against Atalanta.

“I can only say that he’s an extraordinary player but that sounds too banal,” said Gasperini.

“What he’s doing again at Manchester, you only have to look at his goal on Saturday (against Tottenham) and the others he’s already scored, he’s an incredible goalscoring machine.”

The Atalanta boss said even if it cost his club goals “I’d prefer that he’d stayed in Italy because you always want to see the best players here”.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men sit top of Group F on six points after two wins and a draw.
