None were bigger than Cristiano Ronaldo, who appeared to be the centre of attention in a room full of champions.

Tyson Fury and his half-brother Tommy Fury are both big Manchester United fans – and it was clear to see as the fighters interacted with the former Old Trafford hero.

Footage has emerged showing Tommy Fury patiently waiting as Ronaldo took a plethora of selfies with distinguished guests.

Meanwhile, WBC champion Tyson Fury sat down for a chat with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.

The Manchester-born boxer said: “Cristiano, you’re the greatest footballer that’s ever lived, and I mean that.

“I’m a big fan, I watch all the football, I watched you when you were at United, the first time, second time, all of the Real Madrid, everything.”

Ronaldo asked: “But you’ve never been to the stadium?”

And Fury replied: “I come to the stadium but I get very much tortured while I’m there, so it’s very difficult for me.”
