Bednar Better Than Ronaldo?

He said: “I used to watch Yorke and Cole all the time and I still think they were the best partnership I have seen up front. They both had great movement, great intelligence and an ability to score goals.

“I used to admire other players like Eric Cantona and Teddy Sheringham,  but in terms of United Yorke and Cole were the two I always looked up to most.”

Bednar admits he was the subject of ribbing this week, after being quoted in a national newspaper comparing himself to United star Cristiano Ronaldo.

He said: “I never meant it to come over the way it did. I said that one day I hope to be better than Ronaldo at certain aspects of my game.

“I never said ‘I’m better than Ronaldo’ but it hasn’t stopped the lads calling me ‘Ronnie’ all week.”
