It was disclosed that Manchester United, in a bid to secure the services of the manager, paid the Portuguese tactician a staggering £4million to reject the advances of any club looking for his services.
It was alleged that An agreement was reached midway through the season to give United the option of bringing him in if Van Gaal failed to meet their targets.
Ronaldo said in an interview that if the Red Devils want Mourinho as their manager, it is great.
“He’s already signed, hasn’t he? I think it’s good. If it’s something United wanted I think it’s good.
“I hope Manchester United get back to being what they were because it’s an impressive club but in the last years they lacked an identity a bit.
“And it hurts me seeing United like that because it’s a club that I carry in my heart. I wish Mourinho can carry them back to the top.”
Ronaldo also used the opportunity to reaffirm his love for Real Madrid, saying he currently plays at the best club in the world.
“Right now, yes I am happy and I want to stay at this club. I don’t see any other club that is better than Real Madrid. If you weigh things up there is no better club. So all other clubs can forget about me because Real Madrid is the best,” he added.
