During a chat with Red Devils legend Rio Ferdinand on TNT Sports, the 25-year-old defender spoke highly of his national team captain with whom he shared a dressing room for one and a half seasons at Old Trafford and also in the Selecao side since 2021 where he has earned 24 international caps.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The Portuguese full-back further claimed that every time he leaves Ronaldo, he comes back richer. Ferdinand then jokingly asked if the Al-Nassr gives him money as he suggested that the 39-year-old is generally tight with his finances despite being vastly wealthy.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Ferdinand asked about the similarities between Dalot and Ronaldo, to which the United player said, "I learned a lot from him and I know you are close to him as well. Every time I leave him, I feel more rich. I'm not talking about money, no he doesn't give me money. But personal-wise, you can leave any space with him and if he is really comfortable with you, you'll leave with something new that you learn."In between, the former England international quipped, "He's tight, he's tight, he's tight."<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">"Every time I leave him, I feel more rich" 🤣 Diogo Dalot responds to <a href="https://twitter.com/rioferdy5?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@rioferdy5</a> saying he reminds him of Cristiano Ronaldo 🇵🇹 <a href="https://t.co/5jg370jvyJ">pic.twitter.com/5jg370jvyJ</a>— Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) <a href="https://twitter.com/footballontnt/status/1838650258663862329?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 24, 2024</a></blockquote>
