Former teenage superstar Freddy Adu has revealed how Cristiano Ronaldo took him under his wing at Manchester United when he had a trial at the club as a 16-year-old.
Back in 2004, Adu hit the headlines when he was signed by DC United at the age of 14, and it wasn't long before some of the biggest clubs in the world came calling.
Despite admitting that he has been a Manchester City fan since he was a child, Adu agreed to a trial at United, where he trained alongside the likes of Wayne Rooney and Ryan Giggs.
