Man Utd's Evra: You can never question Ronaldo professionalism

Manchester United fullback Patrice Evra has hailed the ability of former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, now of Real Madrid.

"He's not arrogant," Evra told L'Equipe. "He suffers as a result of his image as a fashion guy but honestly, he's the greatest professional I have ever trained with. He never has enough of it. This lad has to be first everywhere in everything. If you play ping pong with him he can't stand losing.

"And in life, he's really a good guy. He's calm, he loves joking around, he really likes teasing people...In fact he's a bit like (David) Beckham.

"He's driven. They don't give themselves the right to make mistakes."
