Middlesbrough star Dael Fry makes admission about facing Cristiano Ronaldo for Manchester United
03.02.2022 - 14:06 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Middlesbrough centre-back Dael Fry is relishing the prospect of facing Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo in the FA Cup fourth-round on Friday evening.
The Championship side, who are currently camped inside the play-off places, will visit Old Trafford looking to pull off one of the shocks of the round against Ralf Rangnick's troops.

"I came on for 45 minutes and I realised
