PATRICE EVRA has lifted the lid on his time with superstar Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United and revealed: He’s crazy.
The former France full-back refused to go back to Ronaldo’s home near Manchester after an ‘unusual’ experience the first time.

After dinner he was invited to take part in a second training session with just the two of them in Ronaldo’s back garden.
The pair were team-mates at Old Trafford for three years, famously winning the 2008 Champions League final by beating Chelsea.
Evra forged a lifetime friendship with Ronaldo – but was left bemused after he was invited to have dinner at the Portuguese’s home soon after he signed for the Manchester club.
He recalled: “There were only salads and chicken.”
After the meal, Ronaldo started to play with a football and asked Evra to give a few touches.
He said: “We just trained. You told me that you invited me to lunch, but in the end we just had another training session.
“I love Cristiano, but I will not go home. He’s crazy.
“I would give advice to anybody, when Cristiano invites you for lunch at his house, just say no.”
Evra, 38, was signed by Sir Alex Ferguson in a £5.5million deal from Monaco in 2006.
At that time Ronaldo, 34, was already the top dog, having moved from Sporting Lisbon in 2003.
The duo played together until 2009, when the Portuguese World Footballer of the Year made the then world record-breaking £80m transfer to Real Madrid.
