Speaking in a press conference, Antony detailed a sauna session where Ronaldo, whom he considers a role model, made a light-hearted joke about his physique. This incident provides a glimpse into the personal interactions between the two players during their overlap at Old Trafford.\n\nAntony described how Ronaldo, known for his rigorous fitness regime and professional demeanor, used the sauna moment to tease him in a friendly manner. The joke was reportedly about Antony's body, reflecting a casual yet mentoring relationship. Such anecdotes highlight the camaraderie that can develop in high-pressure football environments, where senior players often guide younger teammates.\n\nRonaldo's influence on Antony is evident, with the Brazilian winger previously expressing admiration for the Portuguese star. This story underscores Ronaldo's role as an inspiration, not just on the pitch but in everyday settings. The sauna session, while humorous, also points to the close-knit nature of team dynamics at a top club like Manchester United.\n\nHowever, Antony's narrative takes a turn with the mention of a subsequent fallout at Old Trafford. He did not elaborate on the specifics, leaving the details open to interpretation. This fallout could stem from various factors, such as changes in team strategy, personal differences, or career transitions, but Antony chose to focus on the earlier positive interaction.\n\nThe revelation comes as Antony reflects on his career journey, having moved away from Manchester United. Sharing such stories allows fans to see the human side of football, where relationships are complex and evolve over time. It also serves as a reminder of the transient nature of player partnerships in professional sports.\n\nAntony's willingness to discuss this experience demonstrates respect for his past and the lessons learned from playing alongside a legend like Ronaldo. The story adds depth to the understanding of player interactions at elite levels, beyond the headlines and match results.\n\nBased on reporting from Football | Mail Online.","news","Former Manchester United winger Antony recounts a sauna session where Cristiano Ronaldo joked about his physique, offering insight into their dynamic before a reported fallout at Old Trafford.","327050438408933377","0","2026-05-01T15:23:43Z","antony-reveals-sauna-incident-with-ronaldo-at-manchester-united","Football | Mail Online","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.dailymail.com\u002Fsport\u002Ffootball\u002Farticle-15782897\u002FMan-United-Antony-sauna-Cristiano-Ronaldo.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490","326257818438995968","Trafford",[51,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64],"326257551639318528","326257617288564736","326257809182167040","326257810155245568","326257814563459072","326257817600135168","326257545712766976","326222707169431552","326222713142120448","326257546392244224","326257613643714560",[52,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76],"Mannsdorf-Großenzersdorf","Mantova","Oldham","Mansfield Town","Histon","Mangotsfield United","Manchester United","Anderlecht","Canada","Nottingham Forest","Hassania Agadir","Antony Reveals Sauna Incident with Ronaldo at Manchester United",[79,99,118,134],{"awayTeamId":63,"awayTeamName":75,"body":-1,"category":43,"excerpt":80,"homeTeamId":60,"homeTeamName":72,"id":81,"leagueId":82,"leagueName":83,"matchId":84,"matchName":85,"publishedAt":86,"slug":87,"sourceName":88,"sourceURL":89,"teamId":60,"teamName":72,"teamIds":90,"teamNames":94,"title":98},"Michael Carrick had cautioned about financial implications, but Manchester United's top-five Premier League finish triggers contract clauses, ensuring players receive bonuses for Champions League qualification.","327189143597617153","326135625054949376","Premier League","327054566501650432","Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest","2026-05-05T18:45:58Z","manchester-united-set-to-activate-player-bonuses-following-champions-league","Mirror - Football","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.mirror.co.uk\u002Fsport\u002Ffootball\u002Fnews\u002Fman-utd-clauses-michael-carrick-37114804",[60,63,61,54,55,57,59,91,92,51,64,93],"326323575902441472","326257810591453184","326257621193461760",[72,75,73,66,67,69,71,95,96,52,76,97],"Andorra","Chester","Paykan","Manchester United Set to Activate Player Bonuses Following Champions League Qualification",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":43,"excerpt":100,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":101,"leagueId":46,"leagueName":21,"matchId":46,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":102,"slug":103,"sourceName":88,"sourceURL":104,"teamId":61,"teamName":73,"teamIds":105,"teamNames":111,"title":117},"Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney is preparing for a return to the pitch this month, drawing motivation from his eldest son Kai's own football journey.
