I’m ex-Man Utd masseuse.. Cristiano Ronaldo sold me his Porsche at half-price because I got him a Pussycat Doll’s number
CRISTIANO RONALDO sold his £60,000 Porsche convertible for half the price - in return for the phone number of Pussycat Dolls singer Kimberly Wyatt.
The footie megastar was desperate to land a date with the stunning performer after watching her on X Factor during his first spell at Old Trafford.
He recruited Manchester United masseuse Rod Thornley to help - and offered to sell him his £60,000 motor if he could get her number.
Giggling Rod revealed the incredible 2009 anecdote during an interview with and told how he cashed in 24 hours later.
He recalled: "We're in March/April and he's leaving for Real Madrid. We all know he's off at the end of the season.
"So he says to me while the X Factor's on, 'who is this girl'?

"It was Kimberly Wyatt from Pussycat Dolls. He says 'can you get me her number?'
"So I'm like 'what's in this for me? I'm getting you girls' numbers from everywhere and I'm getting nothing out of this'.
"Ronaldo said: 'You like my car?' He had a Porsche Carrera convertible.
"He said 'When I go to Real Madrid, I'll sell it to you for half price'. It took me about 10 minutes to get her number.

"Sure enough, end of season comes and I say 'Remember our deal?' He says 'Yeah'. I say 'You sticking to it?' and he says 'Yeah'.
"I gave him 30 grand for a 60 grand car. Next day I sold it for 60 grand!"
Rod, who worked under boss Sir Alex Ferguson, joked: "I literally had it for one night. I went to his house, picked it up, put the money in his bank, sold it it for £60,000 the next day and had a great holiday in the Maldives that summer."
Rod also claimed he helped get Ronaldo a number for former X Factor judge Dannii Minogue.
The two supposedly went on a couple of dates but then things fizzled out.
He went on to settle down with Georgina Rodriguez, a former Gucci shop assistant, after meeting her in Madrid.
Ronaldo, now 38, returned to Old Trafford last season before moving to Saudi side Al Nassr.
