'I cannot wait to play at Old Trafford in front of a full stadium': Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo told the club media: "Manchester United is a club that has always had a special place in my heart, and I have been overwhelmed by all the messages I have received since the announcement on Friday.

"I cannot wait to play at Old Trafford in front of a full stadium and see all the fans again. I'm looking forward to joining up with the team after the international games, and I hope we have a very successful season ahead."

Man United have officially confirmed the signing of Ronaldo from Juventus for a transfer fee of €15 million while a further €8 million could be paid in add-ons.

Cristiano has put pen to paper on a two-year contract at Old Trafford, with the Red Devils retaining an option of extending the 36-year-old's deal for a further season.
