Zoran Tosic says Manchester United's players were expecting Cristiano Ronaldo to leave this summer for Real Madrid.
He said: "Yeah, I spoke with Cristiano. He told us he'd won all the awards and he wanted to try something else.
"I think in Madrid he's going to be the best player in the world again. Last season he scored 42 goals and this time 25 - and they all said it's his worst season, that it wasn't enough!"
