However, now the two have left the club, although Pogba still holds the Portuguese captain in high esteem.

He told Field of Stories: “Ronaldo’s discipline was incredible – I’ve never seen that before.

“The discipline is on a different level. I see professional players, a lot of players, they’re very professional, they come early, they’re all recovering and stuff like that.

“But someone who has been there every day and doesn’t stop – that’s Cristiano.

“Every day! Some days you say I’m fine! But he doesn’t miss a day. His discipline to do it every day – that’s something.”

Pogba, 29, left United on a free transfer in the summer and returned to Juventus, the side he originally left Manchester for.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo, 37, is now without a team who left United following his explosive interview with The Sun’s Piers Morgan.

He criticized the club and current manager Erik ten Hag, which was enough to get him sacked.

Ronaldo later broke down in tears as Portugal were eliminated from the Winter World Cup in the quarter-finals.

The striker then spent time training at Real Madrid’s facilities to stay fit.

Ronaldo is on the verge of a £173million-a-year move to Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr.
