Giorgio Chiellini has hit out at Cristiano Ronaldo for deciding to join Manchester United very late in the summer transfer window and claims Juventus 'paid for it' in lost points at the start of the season.
Ronaldo started the season with the Old Lady, the club where he had spent the last three seasons, but decided to rejoin former club United in the final week of August for a £19.7million transfer fee.
Chiellini's Juventus started the season poorly with no wins in their first four league games and the Italian defender admitted that Ronaldo's departure affected that, before claiming the Portuguese forward should have quit at the start of August.
