'He looks fake... he's so beautiful in real life!': Middlesbrough's Dael Fry opens up on his tussle with Cristiano Ronaldo in shock FA Cup win over Man United - and admits he didn't speak a word to the superstar after claiming he'd say 'alright, mate?'

Dael Fry has admitted that he 'didn't dare look at Cristiano Ronaldo' during Middlesbrough's FA Cup win at Manchester United - and claims the 37-year-old is 'so beautiful in real life'.

The centre-back played all 120 minutes in the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford, before scoring his penalty shootout effort as Chris Wilder's men went on to produce a stunning fourth-round upset to move into the last-16 of the tournament.

Fry spent most of the evening trying to mark the Portuguese forward and successfully stopped the United star from scoring - but has revealed he was starstruck in Ronaldo's presence.
