American footballer Freddy Adu says Ronaldo was the only Man Utd player to end up interacting with him during his Old Trafford trial.
A little about Freddy Adu
Freddy came to trial in 2006 when he was just 16, two years after he became the youngest player ever to sign to the MLS. Freddy Adu ultimately did not sign with Man Utd and his career has since stalled, although at 32 he insisted he hadn’t finished the game yet.
What did Freddy Adu say about Ronaldo?
Freddy Adu said that everyone always talks about Cristiano is arrogant, he is this and what, but let him tell you that of all the players who were there – Cristiano Ronaldo was the only person of all who made a point to come to Freddy, talk with him, offered to take him to dinner.
According to Freddy Adu, Cristiano Ronaldo was an amazing person. Of course, Freddy already had a huge respect for Cristiano, but after that Adu had so much respect for him and literally became his favorite player just because of the kind of person that Ronaldo was and what Freddy was a witness.
They talked a little – Freddy mostly trained with the U23s when he was there since he was only 16 then, but he got a couple of training with the first team and it was amazing.
according to Freddy at the time he was so young, he had a contract with D.C. United, and MLS was not ready to let him go anywhere at that moment. So they spoke to Man Utd and then head coach Sir Ferguson, who said he was going to follow Freddy and continue doing what he was doing.
