‘He was proper sound’ – Man Utd star Cristiano Ronaldo’s dressing-room habits revealed by former team-mate Ben Foster
BEN FOSTER refuses to believe that Cristiano Ronaldo could be a negative dressing room influence at Manchester United.
A number of Red Devils first team stars want Ronaldo sold as they feel it would improve the atmosphere around the club.
The sulky ace has spent all summer trying to leave Old Trafford and has been part of their dismal start under Erik ten Hag.
But Foster, who played with the 37-year-old at United between 2005 and 2009, reckons that Ronaldo “was never disruptive”.
Quizzed if the forward ever caused off-field issues at Old Trafford while appearing on talkSPORT, the goalkeeper said: “No, never. Honestly, he was proper sound.
“He was never disruptive, never ever. I would never have a bad word to say about him.

“Everyone knows that he is super professional and he did everything right.
“I guarantee it’s the same now. You look at his pictures on Instagram he’s shredded, it’s ridiculous!
“He would come in, and he wasn’t quite to the same level as Paul Scholes. Scholes would be in, out, shake [your hand], that will do.
“He isn’t trying to talk to people. Scholesy was a private person, he’d come in, play his football and go home. That was the beauty of Paul Scholes.

“Ronaldo would talk to people. He had a bit more about him and would try to integrate with the lads and have a laugh and stuff, but he was never disruptive. Never ever.”
Foster went on to add: “I guarantee that he isn’t going in there, kicking up a fuss and being that divisive guy.”
Ronaldo has been rejected by the likes of Chelsea and Bayern Munich this summer – with Atletico Madrid fans even protesting against the possibility of signing him.
This week he received his latest snubs, with Marseille and Borussia Dortmund not interested in signing him.
