Darren Fletcher has offered the truth behind Cristiano Ronaldo’s rise at Manchester United. The former Scotland midfielder played alongside the Portugal skipper from 2003 until 2009 - a period which saw the club win three Premier League titles two domestic cups as well as the Champions League.

When talking about his former colleague, Fletcher reserved praise for countryman Walter Smith and the work he did during his time as a coach at United.
