Ronaldo’s stunning move back to United – 12 years after he left for Real Madrid – was confirmed yesterday, the forward signing a two-year deal with an option for a third.

And the five-time Ballon d’Or winner revealed he only made up his mind to return to Old Trafford because of his unique bond with Fergie. “I’m right “Portugal’s overlapping full-backs are a threat and the front four of Ronaldo, Diogo Jota, Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandes are equally dangerous.

“I’m sure they’ll force us to defend at times but it’s not our intention to be set up in a defensive way.

“We can’t just go to defend – we have to show our quality in possession and carry an attacking threat.”
