Cape Town - Cristiano Ronaldo has thanked the Manchester United fans for welcoming him back to Old Trafford during Tuesday's Champions League clash.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner won three Premier League titles as well as the Champions League and a number of cup competitions during his time in Manchester before moving to Real Madrid.
Posting on Twitter after the game, the former Red Devil wrote: “An important victory in a very emotional match for me.
“It was great playing at Old Trafford again. Thanks to all the fans for the reception and support.”
