'I nearly wet myself!’- Ronaldo left Cole starstruck in the tunnel before Manchester United clash with Inter in 1999

Andy Cole has admitted that he was left so starstruck lining up next to Ronaldo in the tunnel before Manchester United's clash with Inter in 1999 that he almost wet himself.

Cole enjoyed a hugely successful spell at Old Trafford between 1995 and 2001, scoring 121 goals in 275 appearances while also getting his hands on nine major trophies.

The ex-England international helped United win the treble in 1998-99, as Sir Alex Ferguson's side dominated the domestic scene while also storming to success in the Champions League.
