Sheffield Wednesday utility Kieran Lee talks ex-Man Utd teammate Ronaldo...

Published on: 01 December 2015

Sheffield Wednesday defender Kieran Lee has spoken of his time with Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo.

The pair worked together at Manchester United.

"Everyone could see straight away what Ronaldo had, but the work he put into his game was something we'd never seen before,' says Lee, who scored on his first-team debut for United in a League Cup tie aged 18 and is now just two rounds from what would be a first major cup final at Wembley," Lee told the Daily Mail.

"When training finished at United, we'd all go inside to have food. After that, the young lads would go back out and do our jobs like collecting the balls. Ronaldo would still be out there on his own doing skills.

"He'd stay out to be the best. And he became the best. Not me, I was waiting to go home! But he left an impression on me, that work ethic. I've never seen anyone like him, before or since."
