Manchester United academy graduate Danny Simpson has shared the story of how former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo once saved his date with 'Miss California'.
Simpson, 36, made six of his eight appearances for United alongside Ronaldo during the 2007/08 season before being loaned out several times and ending up leaving Old Trafford permanently to join Newcastle United in 2010.
A move to Queens Park Rangers followed three years later, but that stay only lasted a single season as Leicester City came calling, which is where the defender was playing when this chance encounter took place.
The Foxes were touring the United States the summer after winning the Premier League title and participating in the International Champions Cup.
