Speaking after Portugal’s 3–0 win over Azerbaijan on Tuesday, Bruno Fernandes said his compatriot, Cristiano Ronaldo, will help Manchester United secure titles.
Ronaldo rejoined Man United last month and will now partner with Fernandes at club level. Fernandes says the five-time Ballon d’Or winner will help the team at Old Trafford get closer to their goals.
“We know that enthusiasm will be high, everyone knows Cristiano and is very happy and confident to have him back,” Fernandes told RTP3 post-match on Tuesday night.
“[Us] players are part of that confidence, we know what he can give us. Our focus and Cristiano’s, because of what I’ve already talked to him about, is to win what there is to win.
“Our goals remain and obviously, with Cristiano, we have one more reference to help us get closer to that.”
Ronaldo could be in line to make his second debut for United against Newcastle this weekend.
