Last Thursday, The Coaching Manual hosted a webinar starring Mike Phelan, in conjunction with Sensible Soccer Ltd - it was a huge success, with thousands having watched the Manchester United assistant manager talk about his coaching career.

If you haven't already seen it, you can watch the whole webinar on YouTube here.

During the webinar, Mike spoke candidly about his time with Manchester United, working alongside Sir Alex Ferguson, and nurturing players such as Cristiano Ronaldo.

It was Mike's comments about the five-time Ballon D'Or winner that pricked up the ears of the many journalists that had tuned into the webinar.

"Ronaldo was like a sponge to coaching", he said.
