He said: "It was good for me while it lasted. Now Cristiano has taken a different decision for his career and his family and we have to respect that.
"I haven’t discussed the topic with Cris (Cristiano). We’re all focused on the national team and the World Cup. I don’t feel uncomfortable. I don’t have to pick a side. It was a dream come true to play with Cristiano [at United] but nothing lasts forever.
"We know what the World Cup means to Cristiano and his focus has always been there. He didn't tell me about his decision. It's a personal decision and it concerns him and his family. We haven't talked about it. Everyone here is focused on the goal, the national team and the World Cup.
