Former Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand has revealed how Sir Alex Ferguson made Cristiano Ronaldo cry after a game.
The Portuguese made his name at Old Trafford, where he helped the club win thre Premier League titles, the UEFA Champions League, League Cup and FA Cup.
Ferguson was famous for his man-management during his coaching career and would have give his players the scolding, which has since been dubbed the 'hairdryer treatment'.

The Scot also had some famous falling outs with club legend David Beckham and former striker Ruud van Nistlerooy, who both went on to join Real Madrid later in their career.
Ferdinand, however, has revealed that Ferguson tore into Ronaldo for doing too much against Benfica in a friendly.
"We'd been to Portugal and played a couple of games, and he hadn't played well, Cristiano, because he was young, he tried too hard," Ferdinand told BBC Sport in a documentary that will air on Boxing Day.
"I remember we played Benfica, and the manager ripped into Cristiano. 'Who d'you think you are? You're coming in here trying to prove to everybody who you think you are, you think you're a superstar'.
"And I remember Cristiano in tears in the changing room. And I was like, 'This manager doesn't care, man. He doesn't care who you are.'"
