    Manchester United masseuse Rob Thornley has revealed Cristiano Ronaldo swapped his Porsche for an X-Factor singer's number during his first spell at the Red Devils.

    Thornley, who is the younger brother of ex-United man Ben Thornley, revealed Ronaldo tasked him with getting the numbers of X-Factor stars. Speaking on Under the Cosh, Thornley recalled: "It's the night before a game; we're at the Lowry Hotel.

    "He was having a massage with me, so he's on my bed, and I'm rubbing his legs with the X-Factor on TV. 'Who is this girl?' And it was Dannii Minogue, 'Can you get me her number?'.

    "And I'm like f***ing hell masseur for Man Utd, how am I going to get her number? Well, actually, I'm a man of many means, and within four or five days, I've got Dannii Minogue's number in my phone."

    However, the budding romance never worked out for Ronaldo, but that didn't stop the Portuguese megastar, and a few months later Thornley found himself in a similar scenario. And as the pair watched the X-Factor, Ronaldo asked for Kimberly Wyatt's number.

    Thornley continued: "I said 'What's in this for me? I'm dogging away getting girls' numbers for you, what is in it for me?'

    "He said, 'OK, you want my car?' He had a Porsche Porsche Carrera convertible, and he said: 'When I go to Real Madrid, I'll sell you my car at half-price', and I said OK. It took me about 10 minutes to get her number – and I passed it on him to him."

    Ronaldo stuck to the deal, and when he made the move to Madrid he sold his car to the United employee. "The end of the season comes: 'Remember our deal?' he goes 'yeah'.

    "I gave him £30,000 for a £60,000 car, and the next day I sold it for £60,000!"
