Man Utd fans snap up Ronaldo shirts at Old Trafford
Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo is eager to win trophies at Old Trafford, Bruno Fernandes has claimed. The Portugal international recently returned to the club from Juventus after 12 years away. And he could make his debut in Sunday’s Premier League showdown with Newcastle.
Manchester United signed Tom Heaton, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane back in the summer.
Then, late on, they decided to swoop for Ronaldo.
The Portugal international was persuaded into returning to the club by the likes of Fernandes, Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra - having previously been on Manchester City’s radar.
Everybody associated with United is excited to see how the 36-year-old fares now he’s back in the Premier League.
And Fernandes, speaking to RTP3 after Portugal’s 3-0 win over Azerbaijan, insisted Ronaldo told him he’s eager to be successful.

“For me, Sir Alex Ferguson is like a father in football for me. He helped me a lot, he taught me many things, and in my opinion of course he had a big role because the relationship that we had, we keep in touch all the time, and he’s an unbelievable person.
