Cristiano Ronaldo insists that Manchester United are still the biggest club in England.

United have endured a tough few years since Sir Alex Ferguson retired, as they have not won the league title since 2012/2013 and are currently in midtable.

But Ronaldo could not resist having a go at United's rivals Liverpool and City, who are the main contenders for this season's title.

He said in an interview with Corriere dello Sport: "Juve are different to everyone else in many ways, even in the way they treat me.

"Small details make a big difference. However, I prefer to emphasise similarities. Manchester United, Real and Juve are the top teams in their respective countries, but here the roads are divided.

"Italian teams, for example, tend to defend more on the field, while things are much more relaxed away from football in Spain.

"In Italy, the concentration, dedication and commitment are greater. At the end of the day, the level is similar."
