The pair spent four years together at the Real Madrid before Ronaldo left the club in a shocking move to join Juventus.
Early in the summer, Ronaldo requested to leave Old Trafford and watched on from the sidelines as Manchester United defeated Liverpool 2-1. The superstar’s future is still unclear as the deadline draws near.
