Cristiano Ronaldo drives £150k birthday gift from Georgina Rodriguez to Man Utd training

Cristiano Ronaldo rolled up to Manchester United training in a Cadillac Escalade gifted to him by girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez on Monday.

The Portuguese star was handed the keys to the motor, which has a £150k starting price, as a gift having recently celebrated his 37th birthday.

Ronaldo opened the door as his Cheshire home only to see the Cadillac sitting on the driveway just last week.

Ronaldo has driven the SUV, which further bolsters an already lavish car collection that features Ferraris and Bugattis, to United training on Monday morning.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner was unable to save his side from a humiliating FA Cup exit on Friday night.

Ronaldo missed from the spot in normal time as Middlesbrough came from behind to draw at Old Trafford.

That meant penalties and, whilst United's No 7 scored his effort, Anthony Elanga skied his strike into the Stretford End which handed the Championship side victory.

It means Ronaldo's return to Manchester is unlikely to yield any silverware this year.

United's only hope of silverware now would be the Champions League, but they are certainly not among the fancied sides.

Their main ambition for the remainder of the campaign will be getting into the top four.

Speaking after the defeat interim boss Ralf Rangnick said: "We have to blame ourselves for giving away and wasting too many opportunities in the game.

"And in the end, if it's on penalties it's also a question of luck and in the end, we lost that game and we are all incredibly disappointed."

Away from football Ronaldo and his partner are expecting twins in a matter of months.

The couple already have a four-year-old daughter called Alana together and Ronaldo is dad to three children, four-year-old Eva and Mateo and Cristianinho, 11.

Rodriguez wrote in a social media message after gifting her partner his Cadillac: “Happy 37 years love of my life. We love you to infinity.

“Best father and best companion in life that God has given us.

“A fighter and worthy of everything good that happens to you. You are perfection and our inspiration.”

The vehicle will certainly assist with their growing family.

One promotional ad for the car says: “If you’re looking for a car to host small tennis open in, then look no further than the Cadillac Escalade.

“There’s no escaping the fact that the Cadillac Escalade is rather large. At nearly 6 metres long, it’s nearly the same length as your average giraffe.”
