Cristiano Ronaldo has sparked up a romance with a student at the University of Manchester.

The footie hunk's been on a string of dates with Olivia Saunders, a 18 year old student at the University of Ma, after they met at a nightclub. He drives her home in his £150,000 Bentley Continental after nights out.

While he lives in a £4million mansion, the first-year student stays at £100 per week Halls of Residence at Manchester University.

Olivia drives a Ford Ka, while her Facebook profile says her interests include shopping, partying and loves spending time with friends.

It is understandable why Cristiano fell for Olivia, who studies and is a promoter in nightclubs. Two days ago, the footballer took her out at the Cloud 23 bar in Manchester.

Cristiano, 24, has previously dated Portuguese TV presenter Merche Romero, actress Gemma Atkison, 24, and Spanish model Nereida Gallardo, 25.

Olivia, who is taking a BA in Management And Leisure, declined to comment.
