Ronaldo sold car to masseuse for getting him Kimberly Wyatt’s number

Ronaldo receives rapturous welcome from Al Nassr fans

Cristiano Ronaldo sold his Porsche to Manchester United masseur Rod Thornley after he helped him to get Kimberly Wyatt following an appearance on the X-Factor, it has been claimed. The entertaining moment came during the Portugal captain’s first spell at Old Trafford with the masseur helping him to get Dannii Minogue’s number just months earlier. 

Ronaldo was considered to be something of a ladies’ man during his first stint with United and regularly wanted to speak with celebrities that he had seen on TV. 

To do this he sometimes utilised the services of the club’s masseur Thornley who had a skill for seeking out and passing on their numbers. Eventually, Thornley wanted something in return and claimed he got a cut-price deal on the five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s Porsche before he left to join Real Madrid after helping him to contact Wyatt, just months after doing the same to help him speak to Minogue. 

Speaking on the Under the Cosh podcast, Thornley told the whole story. 

“He [Ronaldo] is having a massage with me and on the TV is the X Factor,” Thornley began. “‘Who is this girl?’ It was Dannii Minogue, the sister of Kylie Minogue. ‘Okay, can you get me her number?’ I’m like, ‘I’m a masseur of Man Utd’.

“But I am a man of many means and within like four or five days, I’ve got Dannii Minogue’s number on my phone. So I hand it to him. They went on a couple of days and whatever. Nothing came of it in the end.

“About four or five months later. We’re in March/April he is leaving Real Madrid. We all know he’s off at the end of the season. So he says to me while the X Factor’s on again on Saturday night and it was Kimberly Wyatt from Pussycat Dolls, ‘can you get me her number?'”

“So I’m like ‘what’s in this for me? I’m getting you girls’ numbers from everywhere and I’m getting nothing out of this.’

“He said: ‘You like my car?’ He had a Porsche convertible. He said when I go to Real Madrid, I’ll sell it to you for half price. It took me about 10 minutes to get her number. Pass it on to him.

“Sure enough end of season comes and I ask if the deal is still good. Yeah, he’s sticking to it, but yeah 30 grand I give him for a 60 grand car, next day I sold it for 50 grand!”
