Former Manchester United striker Diego Forlan has accused football legend, Cristiano Ronaldo, of being obsessed with his looks as he kept looking for a mirror during the pair’s time at Old Trafford. The duo spent one season together back in 2003/04 for the Red Devils, and the former Uruguayan is far from impressed by Ronaldo’s off-field antics. The striker who recently announced his retirement from football also compared Portugal’s skipper with David Beckham, the player Cristiano Ronaldo acquired the infamous No 7 jersey from.

As per Diego Forlan, Cristiano Ronaldo will be near a mirror all day in the dressing room and would also change in front of it. David Beckham, on the other hand, was more natural and did not have to work on his looks, unlike Ronaldo. The latter would continuously tidy himself to look the best on the pitch. Although both are famous for their skills and looks, it was David Beckham as per Forlan that had won his respect. Cristiano Ronaldo Admits Paying Rape Accuser Kathryn Mayorga 'Hush Money'!
