CRISTIANO RONALDO was branded ‘malicious’ and a ‘bigmouth’ in an attack by two Brazil stars.

The Manchester United idol was accused of trying to break Tiago Silva’s leg as Portugal crashed 6-2 in Brasilia on Wednesday.

Silva stormed: “He’s a malicious guy and if I hadn’t jumped out of the way he would have broken my leg.”

Fluminense defender Silva, linked with a move to Chelsea in January, added: “He just lost it because we snuffed him totally out of the game.

“He had the nerve to say he didn’t touch me but that’s only because I got out of his way.

“Then he realised he was in the wrong and tried to apologise but I wasn’t accepting that.”

Real Madrid ace Marcelo said: “Ronaldo was out of order and a bigmouth. He elbowed me off the ball, then tried to have a shouting match about it.”

Ronaldo Set for Contract Talks

CRISTIANO RONALDO'S agent has confirmed he will hold talks with Manchester United about a new contract.

The Reds Devils hope to end Real Madrid's interest in the Portuguese superstar by tying him down to a long-term deal.

Ronaldo is reported to be wanting around £175,000 a week to stay at Old Trafford.

And a representative from Ronaldo's agents Gestifute confirmed: "It is normal that a footballer wants a deal to go with his status and one that matches his performances on the field.

"But nobody has prepared anything concrete.

"We want to avoid all these rumours in the press and will have contact with United.

"We do predict a meeting with Manchester United to speak about the future of Ronaldo but still there is not an exact date."
