Danny Simpson has revealed how Cristiano Ronaldo's intervention helped him on a date with Miss California during a pre-season tour of America with Leicester.

Simpson was part of Leicester's 2016 Premier League title-winning team and was part of the club's pre-season tour of USA in the same year.

However, while all attention should have been on the pitch, Simpson explained how he slipped away from the team hotel to go for a romantic meal with the supermodel.

Simpson was at Manchester United during the same time as Ronaldo's first stint at the club and was caught unawares by the Portuguese who helped save the date after a difficult start to dinner.
