Cristiano Ronaldo says Saudi Pro League 'better' than MLS

Al Nassr striker Cristiano Ronaldo said the Saudi Pro League "is better" than MLS and that he has no plans to play in the United States or return to a team in Europe.

Ronaldo was speaking to the media after playing the first half of Al Nassr's 5-0 preseason loss to LaLiga side Celta Vigo in his native Portugal.

"The Saudi league is better than MLS," the Portugal star said when asked about making a move to the U.S. like his former rival in Spain Lionel Messi, who was unveiled as an Inter Miami CF player on Sunday.
