Ronaldo reveals: Mourinho has apologised for 'class' insults

Jose Mourinho has called a truce with Cristiano Ronaldo after belittling the winger's upbringing.

The Chelsea head coach has spoken to the Manchester United player ahead of tonight's clash between the sides and settled their differences after they became involved in a dispute over penalty decisions.

Mourinho claimed a lack of education and 'difficult childhood' were to blame for Ronaldo rejecting his claims that referees favoured Sir Alex Ferguson's side.

It brought a fierce response from the United manager, who accused his counterpart Mourinho of lacking principles and called for him to be censured.

But the two Portuguese, who share an agent, have made their peace.

Ronaldo said: "We already spoke and everything is okay now. It was a little interruption in our good relationship.

"He said sorry', I said sorry' and we both recognise that it was not very polite to say that I had not a good education. But everything is solved."

Chelsea will give Ronaldo's team-mates a guard of honour tonight after United claimed the Premiership title last weekend and, although Ronaldo is unlikely to be among them, he claimed it would be a proud moment.

"Two years ago we did it when they were champions and I think they respect us," Ronaldo said. "To win the Premiership title is one of the highest moments of my career. It's a title every player wishes for and that's why we worked so hard these past 10 months."

After returning from last summer's World Cup as an enemy' of the England team to win the league and become this season's double player of the year, things have turned around rapidly for Ronaldo.

He said: "To be honest I didn't imagine this could be such a great season. It is almost perfect but I still want to win the FA Cup."
