Manchester United loanee Jadon Sancho has revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo was the most inspiring player he has ever played with. Sancho shared his admiration for Ronaldo's professionalism, mentality, and dedication to training, highlighting the positive influence Ronaldo had on his career.
Manchester United loanee Jadon Sancho has lauded Cristiano Ronaldo as the best player he has ever shared the pitch with. The 24-year-old winger had the opportunity to learn from the legendary five-time Ballon d'Or winner during their time together at Old Trafford. Both players experienced turbulent periods under manager Erik ten Hag. Ronaldo, after a controversial interview with Piers Morgan, left the club in a dramatic departure.
Sancho, meanwhile, found himself out of favor and subsequently loaned out to his former club, Borussia Dortmund, where he reignited his form. Returning to Manchester United in the summer, Sancho then joined Chelsea on a temporary deal with an obligation to buy. In a recent interview with Sky Sports, Sancho highlighted Ronaldo's immense influence, calling him 'inspirational.' He shared: '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.' This isn't the first time Sancho has publicly praised Ronaldo. Following his return to Dortmund last year, he spoke about the enduring impact of playing alongside his idol. 'A great professional. He's obviously one of my role models growing up,' Sancho revealed to Dortmund's YouTube channel. 'I love his mentality and I think for every young player who was there at the time he was also there, we learned that to be at the top, you have to train like you're playing every day. 'Even in the gym, even in the recoveries. Sleep is important. Seeing him and playing with him, it was a dream come true because watching YouTube clips of him, it's definitely inspirational. 'I'm thankful for him and everything he's taught me.
