The Portuguese superstar has been regarded as the 'strong man' at the Red Devils since his return to the club from Juventus last summer and is reportedly capable of leg pressing up to 250kg. But Ronaldo, who is known for banging out 30 reps at a time, is being forced to "up his game", with Casemiro showing him up in the gym with the ability to leg press closer to 300kg. The Brazilian is said to be impressing his new teammates with his feats of strength. Having made the big-money move to Old Trafford in August, the 30-year-old has shocked them with his ability to beat Ronaldo, his former Real Madrid teammate, on the leg press. Four things that left Cristiano Ronaldo furious upon his return to Man Utd A source at the club told Daily Star: "Ronny takes a lot of pride in his fitness and how muscular his legs are - few get consistently near the amount and weight he can load up. He's not one for bench pressing, Ronny is a legs man, but it seems he may have met his match with Casemiro – he's not the biggest guy in the world but he's as strong as an ox and can push 300kg with his eyes shut." Whilst Ronaldo has become known for his physical ability, Casemiro also built a reputation for his fitness and strength at Real Madrid and would regularly test himself against his teammates. However, former Los Blancos doctor Jesus Olmo actually revealed that Gareth Bale is the best athlete he has seen at the club - rather than both Casemiro or Ronaldo.
