Man United closer to trophies with Ronaldo — Fernandes

Manchester United midfielder, Bruno Fernandes, has said the club is closer to winning trophies with the return of his Portuguese compatriot, Cristiano Ronaldo.

The former Sporting Lisbon man who was quoted by United’s website revealed that Ronaldo’s return has sparked confidence in the players.

“We know the enthusiasm will be red hot, everyone knows Cristiano is in the house,” Bruno said, while away with the Selecao.

“Everyone is very confident and happy that he is back, the players too.

“We know what he can give us, and our focus, like Cristiano’s, is to win.

“With him, we know we are closer to winning [trophies].”

Ronaldo is expected to make his potential second debut when Ubited take on Newcastle at the weekend.
