Speaking to The Sportsman, Brandon Williams said: "I wasn't there when Cristiano Ronaldo first came back [in the summer of 2021].
"But since I've come back [from loan at Norwich City this summer], he's been a massive influence. He always talks to me.
"He makes sure that he doesn't leave anybody out. He just talks to everybody. With a club of this size, a lot of stories come out.
"When Manchester United don't lose, the papers need stories to bring out to make the league interesting because it's one of the biggest clubs in the world."
Ronaldo openly pushed to leave Man United in the summer transfer window in order to join a Champions League club and preserve his goalscoring record.
With the 37-year-old's skipping the pre-season tour of Asia and Australia, it has been suggested that other players now feel alienated from the Portuguese.
