Ronaldo to Watch Corrie

Cristiano Ronaldo is set to watch English TV soap Coronation Street in a bid to become a REAL Mancunian - He told The Sun that “I promise I will watch it next time it is on and I am home.

When he first arrived at the club, he wasn't sure what Corrie was, but is now set to become a true Manc and watch it when he is at home.

“I didn’t know what Coronation Street was when I came here — actually I didn’t know what it was for the first two years. People told me it’s a big thing here. I think Manchester United is the biggest thing in Manchester and then after that it is Coronation Street.”

He added: “I normally watch movies when I am relaxing at night, but if it really is that popular, I promise I will try and watch it the next time. If I do, maybe it will make me a real Manchester citizen.

“I will have to ask Wayne Rooney if he watches it, although I don’t think he will admit it because it is a show mainly for women, right?”
