Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has spoken of his admiration for former Manchester United teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.
Pogba used to quiz the forward on his sleep, vitamins and his body, so struck was he by Ronaldo's discipline.
"I see professional football players – like Zlatan – a lot of players are very professional, they come early, they do all their recovery and stuff like that. But someone that's been there every single day and doesn't stop. That's Cristiano," he said on the 'Muslim Money Guys' podcast.
"It's just his personality, he's a winner, that's for sure. He wants to always be right, he's never satisfied with what he's done, he always wants more. He always says: 'I can do more. I will do more'. His motivation is crazy. What I saw for a year when I was with him, every day is a new record, a new challenge for him… he's challenging himself.
"He doesn't see the others, he'd say: 'I need to be better than me'."

All his teammates, who know him better than media speak positively about him. But media wants to give him an image of a "bad boy" as if they know him better. THEGOAT

Dear Man U fans I have been in love with this club for more than two decades but we must understand that our clubs are run by business man and they treat players like commodities. Can u imagine that humiliation of getting 3 days suspension and doubting over your honesty when you have family issues. Yes no players are above clubs but clubs management is not above players who sweats and bleeds for our pride and happiness. I have not slept many nights when Man U lost games and hanged on to it when it went through worst period. Cr7 is legend and no one can Deny it..I don’t know how can one can judge his professionalism and dedication to help team in the best possible manner. I guess his status has impacted managers and other so called emerging players of the clubs and even his national team. If you want to win make your players happy and plan games around their strengths. Well I guess saying truth knowing its outcome without fearing what fans or people might say or take actions is outmost courage that one human can possess. Much appreciated cr7. You owned my respect more..
