Popular Ghanaian actor, Yaw Dabo has waded into the debate over who the best is between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

"To me, Ronaldo is far better than Messi. I say it with all jealousy. What Ronaldo has done in football is far better than Messi. Unless Messi gets born again it would be difficult for him to break the records of Ronaldo,” the actor said on Nhyria FM as quoted by Pulse.

Ronaldo's future at Manchester United remains in limbo after stating his interest of leaving the club last month. On Sunday, he left the team immediately he was subbed in a friendly against Rayo Vellacano.

“I want him to leave because Manchester United as a team have disgraced him. How can he be playing with players like Lindeloff and Maguire? If not for one of his hat tricks we wouldn’t have won a match. If he hadn’t come last season, we would have placed 10th," the actor added.

Meanwhile, Lionel Messi scored as Paris Saint Germain beat FC Nantes to win the French Super Cup. He was also named player of the match.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Cristiano Ronaldo could not wait until the final whistle during Manchester United's friendly clash with Rayo Vallecano, with the veteran striker spotted leaving Old Trafford early.

Ronaldo was part of Erik ten Hag's starting XI during the Sunday, July 31 clash as he made his return to the fold for the first time since the end of last season.

The 37-year-old has widely been linked with a possible summer exit, with fears initially rife that he could depart the club.
