Manchester United teenager Hannibal Mejbri reveals he is 'scared' to SPEAK to 'unbelievable' Cristiano Ronaldo in training... and says the Portuguese star 'stays distant unless you want him'

Teenager Hannibal Mejbri is so overwhelmed as Cristiano Ronaldo's team-mate that he struggles to even speak to the Portuguese superstar at Manchester United training.

The 19-year-old trains with the first team group and he has opened up on how 'unbelievable' it is to work in close quarters to Ronaldo.

While the Portuguese can keep himself to himself, he remains a source of inspiration and advice when young stars like Mejbri come calling.
