Cristiano Ronaldo has sent a heartfelt message to new Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim as the club legend gave his verdict on the new Old Trafford chief.

The 39-year-old shares more than just one thing in common with Ronaldo and the legendary goalscorer appears delighted to see one of his native coaches being given a chance at one of the world's biggest clubs.

He replaces Erik ten Hag - who Ronaldo famously fell out with prior to leaving United for the second time in his career - and Amorim's immediate task is sorting through the chaos left by his predecessor.
