Rio Ferdinand sends a one-wot message to Christiano Ronaldo after argument with Utd manager
Rio Ferdinand wasted no time reacting to former Manchester United teammate Cristiano Ronaldo reaching an impressive milestone feat away from the football pitch.
The 45-year-old TNT Sports pundit shared the pitch with Cristiano Ronaldo during the Portuguese forward’s superstar rise in world football at Manchester United.
Ronaldo made a real name for himself at Old Trafford under Sir Alex Ferguson and made a long-lasting impact during his first spell at the Red Devils.
Signed from Sporting CP in 2003, the 39-year-old United legend went on to lift three Premier League titles, a Champions League trophy, an FA Cup and two League Cups.
The first of Ronaldo’s five Ballon d’Or wins came during his time at Old Trafford under Sir Alex Ferguson after his stunning 2007-08 season with United.
Ronaldo would only continue to add to his legend after his first spell with United, with the Al Nassr superstar signing for Real Madrid in 2009.

Man Utd legend Ronaldo hits milestone
Cristiano Ronaldo completed a blockbuster transfer to Real Madrid at the time and the Manchester United legend enjoyed incredible success in the Spanish capital.
The Portugal skipper later moved to Serie A Juventus and added more silverware to his ever-growing trophy cabinet before his sensational return to United in 2021.
However, Ronaldo’s spell with United came to an end in 2022 after his falling out with Erik ten Hag and the Portugal captain moved to Al Nassr in 2023.
Ronaldo launched his own YouTube channel only last month and the Al Nassr skipper has already crossed a whopping 60m subscribers at the time of writing.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has built a mammoth social media following, including having a mammoth 638m followers on Instagram alone.
Ronaldo took to Instagram and revealed that he had “made history” after crossing one billion followers across all of his platforms.

“You’ve been with me every step of the way, through all the highs and the lows. This journey is our journey, and together, we’ve shown that there are no limits to what we can achieve.
