Cristiano Ronaldo admits he struggled to adjust to the searing Saudi Arabia heat after £173m Al-Nassr move - as he reveals training later 'is the biggest difference'

Cristiano Ronaldo has opened up on the teething problems that he first encountered upon joining Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr in December.

The superstar striker ditched Manchester United after having his contract torn up by the club in December following his bombshell interview and opted for a big-money move to Saudi Arabia.

The five-time Champions League and Ballon d'Or winner started life in the Middle East by scoring five goals in his opening three games, but has since revealed how a new start in the oil-rich nation came with it's own struggles.
