Arsenal fullback Nuno Tavares says he never believed in stories of Cristiano Ronaldo joining him at Olympique Marseille.

The Manchester United striker was linked with OM last month, but the window shut with Ronaldo still at Old Trafford.

Tavares said: "I didn't pay too much attention to that.

"I thought it was more info from social media, I've never seen or heard anything concrete.

"I never approached this situation as something truthful."
