Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly used to 'roll his eyes' when one of his Manchester United teammates spoke in the dressing room.
Back in the summer of 2021, five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo made an emotional return to Old Trafford after leaving Italian Serie A giants Juventus.
During his second stint at United, the Portuguese managed 27 goals in 54 appearances across all competitions.

However, things began to unravel after the arrival of Erik ten Hag and on the back of an explosive interview with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo departed United again.
Since then, the 39-year-old has been playing for Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr.
A recent report has claimed that Ronaldo used to roll his eyes when one of his United teammates spoke.

As reported by The Telegraph, Ronaldo was 'known to' have rolled his eyes when Harry Maguire spoke inside the dressing room.
The report stated: "The veteran Uruguay centre-half Sebastian Coates, once of Liverpool, became a key pillar in Amorim’s Sporting side and the Portuguese coach appears to have earmarked a similar role for Maguire in the middle of his back three.
"No one is rolling their eyes in that dressing room any more when Maguire speaks, as Cristiano Ronaldo was known to do."

Maguire has started to rediscover his best form since Ruben Amorim took over the reins at Old Trafford and looks set to play a big part in the Portuguese's future plans.
Speaking about the new United boss recently, Maguire said: "Yeah, he (Amorim) is really demanding. Ruben said to me that when it came across to him that I had an option (to extend my contract), that it was a no brainer.
"It’s given me confidence and belief that they want me at the club and part of this project. I’m happy to be here. I want this club to be back fighting for titles and not fighting where we are in the table right now. We’ve got a long way to go."
