Revealed : Ronaldo Used To Be Ridiculed By His Colleagues At Manchester United

JAKARTA - Former Manchester United striker Mads Timm revealed the story when Cristiano Ronaldo first joined Old Trafford from Sporting CP. He said Ronaldo was often ridiculed by some veteran Red Devils players.

Timm explained that the taunts his former team-mate received served as additional motivation in his quest to prove his quality at Old Trafford.

"(Ronaldo) is extraordinary as a footballer, and as a personal", Timm wrote in his book Red Devil according to The Sun.

"Like me, he was bullied when he came to the club. With his (tacky) hair - which was cut immediately - and with his almost acrobatic attempts to impress the coaches.

"He can stand up and do 10-15 stepovers before he tries to dribble past the opponent.

"Get over it now, just pass, damn it", Gary Neville and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer shouted at him constantly as we had a reserve team match together.

The special thing about Ronaldo, continued Timm, is that he quickly defies hierarchy. And he won it.

"He really doesn't care about his other team-mates. He doesn't make room for other people. It's me, me, me. Cristiano Ronaldo. CR7".
