VIDEO: Shrek & 'no bum' John O'Shea! Cristiano Ronaldo reveals bizarre nicknames he gave ex-Man Utd team-mates

During Ronaldo's first stint at Manchester United, the Portuguese forward could do no wrong as he was a major part of the Red Devils' golden era where he went on to win eight titles in five years including three Premier League titles and one Champions League crown in 2008. Despite his move to Real Madrid in 2009, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner remained friends with some of his old team-mates and has now revealed some of the nicknames he used during his time at the club in a chat with Rio Ferdinand on his show 'Rio Meets'.

Ronaldo admitted that Wayne Rooney went by the name of 'Shrek', while he also used to troll John O'Shea for having 'no bum' in the dressing room. Midfielder Paul Scholes was also simply called 'Ginger' in reference to the colour of his hair.

The Portuguese legend is now at Al-Nassr and slowly inching towards the end of his illustrious career. He will be in action next when the Saudi Pro League side take on Al-Ahli on Friday, September 13.
