This is further on from last week's quotes from Fergie that Kenyon ballsed up some transfers
"I think PSG felt upset with the manner they were treated," he says. "Perhaps it would have made a difference if he [Kenyon] had done what Barcelona did and talked to Mr [Francis] Graille [the PSG president]."
Ronaldinho's assessment would appear to back Ferguson's claims that "mistakes were made when attempting to sign the lad". After Ronaldinho put pen to paper on his five-year, £21.25m contract with Barcelona, Graille accused Kenyon, who is now the Chelsea chief executive, of "failing to show PSG the necessary respect". "Man U were too sure of themselves," he said last July, "and they were foolish to assume they could cut the deal directly with the player."
The irony is that Ronald-inho, whose real name is Ronaldo de Assis Moreira, had agreed personal terms with United and would happily have signed for the club had Kenyon agreed a fee with the Paris hierarchy. "Manchester are a great club and it would have been an honour to play for them," says Ronaldinho, who hopes to win the gold medal with Brazil at the Olympic Games in Athens later this year, "but I have to admit that Barça were always my first choice. When I was younger, I used to watch my idols on TV - Romario, Ronaldo and Rivaldo - and hope that one day I, too, would be a hero of the Nou Camp."
