Micah Richards recently revealed how Cristiano Ronaldo would frustrate him during the latter's first Manchester United spell. Richards used to play for Manchester City at that point in time.
During the younger days of his career, Ronaldo was one of the most skillful players on the planet and was an exceptional dribbler. He mainly operated on the wings and Richards, being a former full-back, was often tasked with tackling Ronaldo.
Speaking on his experience of going head to head with Ronaldo, Richards recently said (via talkSPORT):
"When I played against Ronaldo, wow, you couldn't switch off for a second. He would come to be and do five stepovers in two seconds. And I just couldn't believe what I was seeing he was such a genius. I was twisted and tangled before you knew it."

Richards further added:
"He never said anything but he just used to wink at me all the time. He used to do a Cruyff chop and then he'd go past me on the inside and then just wink at me - I'd be swearing to myself."
Cristiano Ronaldo won three Premier Leagues and a UEFA Champions League, among other trophies during his first Manchester United stint. Apart from the trophies, Ronaldo often managed to bamboozle defenders with his quick feet.
