You don’t have to be a massive football fan to know that Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is fond of looking in the mirror.

Then again, there are those who will say that’s fair enough.

That image above was shared to his Instagram account yesterday, with the caption “Vitamina D” and some emojis, in case you were wondering.

Ronaldo’s teammates probably don’t care too much about what he gets up to in the locker room, as long as he is banging in the goals, but back in his Manchester United days some of the lads thought it was quite amusing.

This has been revealed in Peter Crouch’s new book, How to Be a Footballer, as NewsAU reports:

The veteran striker says that Ferdinand gave him a glimpse inside the Manchester United dressing room from when superstar Ronaldo was at Old Trafford.

He said: “Rio Ferdinand would tell us stories about how Cristiano Ronaldo would stand in front of the mirror naked, running his hand through his hair, and say, ‘Wow. I’m so beautiful!’”

The rest of the United squad weren’t having it though – and tried to bring Ronaldo’s ego down a notch by mentioning Lionel Messi – but ultimately failed in doing so.

“Rio said the other United players would try to wind him up.

“’Whatever. Leo Messi is a better player than you.’

“And he would shrug his shoulders and smile again. ‘Ah yes. But Messi does not look like this.’”

Hang on – he admitted that Messi is a better player than him? Doubt that, but I love that the United players gave him stick.

I wonder if they’re giving Jose Mourinho a hard time after his trip this weekend?
