'A real honour!' - Jadon Sancho says Cristiano Ronaldo's words are 'all true' as winger picks 'inspirational' ex-Man Utd star as best he's ever played with

Sancho and Ronaldo played together 37 times at United across the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons and the Chelsea winger has now hailed the impact the Portugal superstar had on him. The Englishman was asked to list some of his best team-mates, and was quick to mention the Al-Nassr ace.

Ronaldo and Sancho both clashed with Erik ten Hag, leading to each of their respective exits. Ronaldo saw his contract mutually terminated after an explosive interview in which he criticised the coach and the club, while Sancho was exiled before he joined Chelsea on loan.

Sancho told Sky Sports: "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."

Sancho will next be in action when Chelsea face Brighton on Saturday evening in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
