"To give you one instance of the impact he is having on the group right," Man United keeper Lee Grant told talkSPORT about Cristiano Ronaldo.
"This was Friday night in the group hotel. So, as you guys will be aware, you finish your dinner and usually on a Friday night you’ve got a few cheat stuff out.
"You’ve got some apple crumble or you’ve got a bit of brownie and cream or what not.
"I tell you now, not one player touched the apple crumble and custard, not one player went up for that brownie because everybody was sat down and one of the lads said to me, 'What has Cristiano got on his plate?'
"So we were having a little goosey gander at what he has got and obviously it is the cleanest, most healthy plate you can imagine.
"And it just cracked me up how not one single player dared get up and have that junk food that was laid out."
Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to Man United as one of the biggest legends in the sport's history - no wonder that his habits are rubbing off on his new teammates!

Cristiano Ronaldo has shown that he is far from finished at the age of 36.
According to BBC, the Man United forward hit a top speed of 20.2mph (32.5kmph) in the build-up to his second goal against Newcastle.
This is not too bad regardless of his age: The Sun claims that the highest speed in the Premier League this season so far is 22.15mph registered by Southampton forward Adam Armstrong.
If we remember how confident Cristiano's finish was after that acceleration, the Portuguese's numbers look even more remarkable.
Revealed: one piece of advice Jadon Sancho asked Cristiano for ahead of Newcastle game
In a big material covering Cristiano Ronaldo's second debut for Man United, The Athletic revealed one curious conversation between the Portuguese star and Jadon Sancho.
In the warm-up ahead of the Newcastle game, Cristiano was practising free-kicks against veteran keeper Lee Grant and, naturally, beat him several times.
After one especially impressive effort, Sancho approached him and appeared to ask how he could gain a similar swerve on his long-range shots.
Young Man United players learning from Ronaldo is likely to be a theme of the season: many of them were kids when Cristiano became one of the best players in the world - and he still belongs to that tier now.
