Manchester United old boy names most talented team-mate - and it's not Cristiano Ronaldo

Former Manchester United youngster Kieran Richardson has named the most talented team-mate he played with during his five years at the club, and it's not Cristiano Ronaldo.

The pair played more than 40 matches for United together, with Ronaldo assisting Richardson's goal against the Hungarian side Debrecen, in Champions League qualifying during the 2005/06 season. The eight-cap England international spent time on loan at West Bromwich Albion before moving on to Sunderland for more first-team football.

Richardson is now retired, having not played professionally since the 2016/17 season. Reflecting on his time at Old Trafford, he names Paul Scholes as the top United talent of his time.
