Manchester City midfielder Elano has had a dig at Manchester United rival Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ahead of this month's derby, Elano needled Ronaldo with: "Cristiano Ronaldo scores big goals and does excellent exhibitions but for me I would choose Kaka as the world's number one.

"This friendly (Brazil v Portugal) is going to be an interesting duel, I am happy to be on the pitch with two of the best players of the world but I will do all that is possible for Kaka to overcome Ronaldo in his duel."
