Louis Saha shared the dressing room with Van Nistelrooy and Cristiano Ronaldo. And in an interview, the former player revealed a tense moment between the two legends.
One thing is certain. Both players had great talent. Van Nistelrooy was already a world famous player and Cristiano Ronaldo a youngster who was starting to win.
However, it was not easy for the two players to get along at times in the Manchester United locker room, and Louis Saha returned to an incident that had made the five-time Ballon d’Or cry.
“Ruud wanted all the assists. Sometimes for Cristiano’s development, being with Van Nistelrooy and Rooney was not easy. One day Ruud made him cry, ”the former Red Devils player explained in his interview.
A tension that had ended up exploding: “They ended up arguing when Cristiano’s father had just died. It was not the right time. These are things that happen between players who have a competitive spirit. I’m sure Rudd regretted his words. ”
With six seasons, 292 games in the red jersey, 118 goals and 69 assists, Cristiano Ronaldo has clearly marked his time at Manchester United.
