Two of Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal teammates have candidly opened up about different secrets around the life of the Manchester United and Real Madrid legend.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been with current side Al Nassr since 2023 after his second Manchester United spell came to a sudden end in 2022.
The 39-year-old Portuguese forward fell down the pecking order under former United manager Erik ten Hag and Ronaldo pulled no punches in a tell-all interview.
Ronaldo has continued to play for both Al Nassr and Portugal, with the United legend currently away on international duty for the November break.
The former United superstar linked up with his Portugal teammates after Roberto Martinez called up the country’s captain for the Nations League campaign.
Ronaldo committed his future to Portugal after Euro 2024 in Germany, despite the Al Nassr captain failing to impress for the country at the UEFA tournament.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner only managed one assist and failed to score a single time in five matches for Portugal at Euro 2024 in Germany.
Bruno Fernandes on Man Utd legend Ronaldo
Portugal resume their Nations League campaign on Friday evening against Poland, with Roberto Martinez’s men in action at the Estadio do Dragao in Porto.
Martinez’s side will then face Croatia in their last Nations League Group A match at the Stadion Poljud on 18th November before the end of the international break.
Portugal are currently top of League A Group 1 in the Nations League and Martinez’s men are undefeated in their four-match campaign so far.
Speaking on Cristiano Ronaldo’s YouTube channel, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes was asked what the Portugal legend is like away from the limelight.
“I think there are many things you don’t know – you have to be always around him to know what his life is like, but… he’s good at dancing, he has good dance steps,” he said.
Bernardo Silva shares Ronaldo ‘secrets’
Manchester City star Bernardo Silva admitted that fans are already well aware of Ronaldo’s discipline and that he “likes to work at the right times.”
However, the 30-year-old Portugal player insisted that one secret around his teammate is that he does not “need to eat very often.”
“I think people know that he’s very disciplined, that he likes to work at the right times and that everything has to be there, but, perhaps… that he doesn’t need to eat very often,” Silva said.
“I think he only eats lunch and dinner; he doesn’t eat small meals, I think that’s a good curiosity about him.”
