Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie has revealed the nickname he got from Cristiano Ronaldo after joining the club recently.
The United States international joined the Serie A champions on loan from Schalke, although the Italians have option of making the move permanent.
While coming into new surroundings, McKenni has revealed Ronaldo has been very welcoming since his arrival.
"It's been honestly a big honour to play with Cristiano Ronaldo. I still remember the first time I met him, I was walking down the hallway and I was like, oh snap, be cool, be cool," McKennie told ESPN.
"[But] he's a really genuine guy, straight to the point, he wants to win, he has a great mentality and we also joke around – he calls me Texas Boy.
"For a player with all the accomplishments in his career, he could be snobby and stuck up, but he's very open and warm and brings all the players into the game no matter what age you are."
