One of the most phenomenal transfers happened this summer, Cristiano Ronaldo left Juventus and moved back to Manchester United. Nobody realized he ever tricked two players to join United instead of Premier League rivals, Arsenal.

As we all know, something happened in Turin, which caused the star to exit the door. Despite his contribution in several domestic leagues, CR7 could not break the untitled Champions League 'curse' from the 1995-1996 season.

This moment was used for the Premier League club to sign back their best player in the past. Just using €15 million and €8 million add on, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side bring back Ronaldo to Old Trafford.

Speaking of the Portuguese presence, there was a unique story when he was still at the Red Devils. According to Daily Mail, he became the main factor that caused Fabio and Rafael da Silva to reject Arsenal and chose Manchester United.

"First it was a Portuguese greeting. The voice says: 'It is Cristiano Ronaldo.' I think it is a joke, but he says, 'No, it is Cristiano here. I'm calling you to tell you to come to United," the Brazilian full back said.

"I can help you guys so you need to come. You're going to enjoy it. Sir Alex Ferguson must have known about Arsenal. This was his way of making sure we came to Manchester and it worked," he added.

In 2005, Arsenal under Arsene Wenger was really interested with the Da Silva brothers. However, since Ronaldo already had a great effect in United, the twin finally signed for the Manchester club.

Back in the present, the Cristiano Ronaldo effect should be able to make Manchester United great again. Who knows? He will be able to win the Premier League trophy just like when under Ferguson as the manager.
