Cristiano Ronaldo eats and drinks the right things to keep in top shape - but that wasn’t always the case at Manchester United.
The Portugal international joined Old Trafford as an 18-year-old and spent his time in the Premier League transforming into one of the world’s top players before departing to Real Madrid.
It’s common knowledge that diet is a key part of a footballer’s lifestyle, but a tale from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer suggests that this had eluded Ronaldo in his early career.
Solskjær: - CRonaldo came once to a breakfast with a coke in his hands. Giggs pushed him on the wall and said: - Don't ever do that again!

According to former Norwegian forward Jan Aage Fjortoft, Solskjaer claims that Giggs pushed Ronaldo against a wall for drinking a Coke at breakfast.
It’s safe to say Ronaldo took that advice and went pretty far with it!
