CRISTIANO RONALDO has admitted he barely spoke to some of his Manchester United team-mates.
The superstar stormed out of his pre-match press conference ahead of Real Madrid's Champions League tie against Roma.

The Portuguese was unhappy with being asked about his relationship with Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema.

But before leaving, the 31-year-old revealed that he did not feel personal relationships were important within a football team.
"When I was at Manchester United with [Paul] Scholes, [Ryan] Giggs and [Rio] Ferdinand we only said ‘good morning’ and ‘good night’ and we were formidable on the pitch.

"We don't give each other kisses and hugs.

"I don't have to go to dinner with Bale or Benzema or invite them to my house.

"What's important is our understanding on the pitch.
"Little meals or kisses and hugs don't mean anything."

Ronaldo has been publicly talked about a potential return to Old Trafford at the end of his career in the past.

With Madrid president Florentino Perez reportedly favouring Bale over Ronaldo, rumours about the Portuguese forward leaving have intensified this season, especially with his contract due to expire in 2018.

And Ronaldo has often failed to contain his frustrations with his team-mates on the field despite his excellent form with 21 goals in 24 La Liga appearances so far this campaign.
But he once again reiterated that he was happy in Madrid before exiting his press conference early.

"Do I feel appreciated? Yes, of course, absolutely," Ronaldo added.

"How could it not be so? I always play, I’ve scored a few goals and I’m at the best club in the world.

"Why have I struggled to score away from home? Can you name one player who has scored more away from home than me since I’ve been in Spain?

"No, you can’t, there aren’t any. Bye everyone."
