Christiano Ronaldo, the winger who helped the UK’s Manchester United win the Premier League and Champion League titles last year, was involved in a car crash last Thursday.

The New Years day accident could have had a very serious outcome, but Ronaldo came away with no injuries, after his sports car hit a roadside barrier.

Great Manchester police released a statement saying that no-one was injured in the collision, according to Gulf News.

Ronaldo, who also helped United win the 2008 Ballon d’Or crashed his Ferrari in a tunnel near Manchester airport.
