Not Ronaldo! Martial snubs CR7 as French forward names best player at Manchester United
If not the greatest, goal machine Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably one of the best players in the modern era of the beautiful game. The former Juventus and Real Madrid star is embracing the twilight phase of his iconic club career at Manchester United. Ronaldo's teammate Anthony Martial has lauded the veteran forward for his work ethic. However, Martial has named Ronaldo's former teammate as the best player he has played alongside at Old Trafford.
Yes, the French forward has snubbed Ronaldo while naming the best player he has ever teamed up with at Manchester United. Martial became a Red Devil when Man United opted to spend £36 million for the former AS Monaco star back in 2015.
