Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has suggested that manager Manuel Pellegrini is making him an even better player.

The £80million man has made a scintillating start to life at Santiago Bernabeu and this is thanks to the freedom Pellegrini is allowing the Portuguese star in his play.

Speaking to reporters, the former Manchester United man said: "My coach Manuel Pellegrini is clearly different to Sir Alex Ferguson.

"In fact, I'm much more free here, free to roam around the pitch in certain matches. Not only will I use that to become the same player I was at Old Trafford but even better.

"I feel like a new-born baby - I'm reborn. Just because I won everything with United and was voted Ballon D'Or and World Player doesn't mean I've reached the top.

"In fact, I feel like my career is just starting."
