Ronaldo’s Conversation With James In The 76th Minute During Man United Vs Chelsea Game Finally Revealed

Football fans believed Reece James asked Cristiano Ronaldo for his shirt during Manchester United’s 1-1 draw against Chelsea on Thursday night.

Cristiano Ronaldo notched his 17th Premier League of the campaign to cancel out Marcos Alonso’s strike two minutes earlier and stop United from suffering a third straight defeat.

James, meanwhile, churned in a stellar performance from right wing-back at Old Trafford and was named Man of the Match.

He had the most touches, crosses and tackles in the game and came close to rounding off a complete display with a left-footed effort that smacked the post late on.

However, fans also spotted what James did in the 76th minute. The England defender was seen with his hand covering his mouth while in conversation with Ronaldo.

Later, the Chelsea right wing-back posted a picture of him and Ronaldo on Twitter, accompanied with the message, “Felt like we deserved more. “Thank you for the support & stick with us! The marathon continues.”

It turns out the 22-year-old idolized Ronaldo despite being a staunch Chelsea supporter and named him as the one player he’d love to play with in a Twitter Q&A.
