Man Utd: Cristiano Ronaldo 'forced staff to upgrade swimming pool' after safety-hazard complaint

Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly forced Manchester United to revamp their training ground swimming pool after complaining that it posed a safety hazard.

Ronaldo secured an emotional return to United last summer, heading back for a second stint at Old Trafford 12 years after his world-record move to Real Madrid.

Yet despite last using it all the way back in 2009, the Portuguese superstar was left dismayed when he discovered their Carrington swimming pool had not changed one bit over the past decade.

According to The Mirror, Ronaldo told bosses at their Aon training complex that he is not prepared to use their main pool or plunge pool until both have been refurbished, as he claimed 'loose, chipped and missing tiles' made it a danger.
