Villarreal midfielder Marcos Senna is no fan of Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ahead of this week's Champions League clash, Senna mocked: "Cristiano is a great player and I once said he made up 50 per cent of United's strike force.

"Now I think I overrated his importance. When Cristiano does not score, his role is limited. Yes, he is fast, but countless step-overs are not necessarily productive.

"He is not a complete player like Ronaldinho in the good times.

"He used to score, take penalties, free kicks, dribble, give accurate short and deep passes, assist and run everywhere."
