Former Madrid president Calderon insists former United manager Sir Alex Ferguson attempted to engineer a move to rivals Barca for the attacker - but Ronaldo refused.
Asked whether the Scot tried to send Ronaldo to the Blaugrana, Calderon told talksport: "It is totally true. In the few weeks he tried to avoid him going to Real Madrid, offering him to Barcelona. "Barcelona were very happy but in that moment it was very crucial as Ronaldo said: 'I'm not going to any other club but Real Madrid.'"That's why we signed the deal. Everyone was happy: Manchester United got the £80 million [€94m], Real Madrid got the best player in the world and Cristiano got what he wanted
