Noni Madueke has shared his motivations behind his Manchester United transfer rejection, despite his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 20-year-old Chelsea target recently revealed why he chose to join PSV instead of Manchester United in 2018, telling BBC Sport: “I knew going from Tottenham to United is pretty much the same thing. The reason I wanted to go was to progress quicker into the first team.”
Madueke admitted that Ronaldo’s time at Manchester United influenced him and made him want to play football himself.
“The person that made me want to play football was Cristiano Ronaldo when he was playing for Manchester United,” he said.
In April this year, Madueke also confirmed that a return to England still remained his ambition, but stated that he is currently focused on finishing the season with PSV before thinking any further.
