Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes appears to have corroborated Joao Mario's story about what Cristiano Ronaldo said to him during their handshake on Monday.
Footage of a frosty looking meeting between Fernandes and Ronaldo went viral over the last 24 hours, with many speculating that Fernandes did not greet Ronaldo warmly out of annoyance due to the Portugal captain's already infamous interview with Piers Morgan.
However, Portugal player Joao Mario dismissed talk of a rift between the pair. "I was in the locker room at that moment," Mario said. "I saw pictures. It was a joke between them. Bruno Fernandes was one of the last to arrive. Cristiano asked: 'Did you come by boat?'”
