'If I saw Ronaldo eating horse s*** before a match I’d eat it too': Troy Deeney is not surprised Manchester United players ditched dessert after watching the health-conscious striker munch on quinoa, avocado and boiled eggs

Troy Deeney is not surprised Cristiano Ronaldo's team-mates have avoided sweet treats and desserts following his return to the club.

Manchester United goalkeeper Lee Grant previously revealed that not one player ate dessert at dinner after they saw Ronaldo eating quinoa and avocado.

Deeney believes this is due to the admiration they have for the striker and his career, claiming he would eat 'horses**t' before a match if he saw Ronaldo doing so.
