Cristiano Ronaldo's '12-year-old mentality'

The Real Madrid star has "unwavering faith in himself", according to former colleague Mads Timm, who admits the icon has survived in football because of it

Cristiano Ronaldo has the mental age of a 12-year-old, according to former Manchester United team-mate Mads Timm, though he believes the Real Madrid star benefits from his selfishness.

Timm spent six years at Old Trafford from 2000, but made just one first-team appearance, coming on against Maccabi Haifa in the Champions League and had loan spells at Viking, Lyn and Walsall before his departure.
The Dane may not have had a prosperous spell at United, but he remembers sharing a dressing room with Ronaldo and pointed out the Portugual international's self-centred mentality.
"He's completely indifferent to the collective side of the game," Timm wrote in his biography Red Devil. "It was 'me, me, me'. Today, after so much success, he can still get annoyed when one of his team mates scored instead of him.
