The figure of Cristiano Ronaldo always stirs reactions with any move or statement he makes. In this instance, an entertaining back-and-forth unfolded between him and his former Manchester United teammate Rio Ferdinand, who asked Ronaldo to choose between certain players. The twist? Ronaldo ended up selecting another teammate over the Argentine star Angel Di Maria.

The YouTube channel UR Cristiano provided the perfect setting for a fun game between Cristiano Ronaldo and his former teammate Rio Ferdinand. Ferdinand challenged Ronaldo to choose between different football players, adding an entertaining twist to their interaction.

When it came time to choose between Argentine star and current World Cup champion Angel Di Maria and his contender, CR7 did not hesitate to pick the other player. The player in question is none other than David Beckham, one of the current owners of Inter Miami and the key figure responsible for Lionel Messi‘s signing with the Herons.

In this round of questions, it was one of the fastest answers from the Portuguese striker, perhaps due to the close relationship that Cristiano and Beckham developed during their time together at Manchester United.
