'What has Cristiano got on his plate?' - Ronaldo influence on Manchester United team-mates' food choices revealed by Grant

The keeper said the star's positive impact stretches to the pre-match meal, with the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's choice ensuring no-one had pudding

Cristiano Ronaldo is already having an impact on his team-mates off the pitch at Manchester United, says Lee Grant, who claims the star's healthy lifestyle has already shamed the other players into eating more healthily.

Following an extraordinary summer return to OId Trafford from Juventus, Ronaldo started where he left off as he scored twice in United's 4-1 victory over Newcastle in the Premier League on Saturday.

Reserve goalkeeper Grant has revealed that Ronaldo's positive impact for United stretches to the pre-match meal as well, with the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's choice of food ensuring none of his new colleagues went for pudding.
