Chelsea forward, Jadon Sancho has come out to say that it was a real honour to play with Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, it was definitely an inspiration to play alongside Ronaldo, and even if he has played with a lot of great players throughout his career, no one comes close to Cristiano.
Sancho added that playing with the Portuguese striker was a real honour because of his top mentality as a footballer.
His words, “I’ve played with a lot of great players but, if I had to choose one, it was Cristiano Ronaldo. What he talks about in his interviews is all true, to play with him was a real honour. His mentality, how he trained and how he went into games was really inspirational.”
WOW.
