Cristiano Ronaldo gives Ruben Amorim’s arrival at Manchester United his stamp of approval

Cristiano Ronaldo has sent a heartfelt message to Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim.

Amorim began work as United’s new boss at the start of the week and became the club’s second-ever Portuguese coach after Jose Mourinho.

The 39-year-old claims to be relaxed in his new surroundings as preparations begin for his first game against Ipswich Town.

Interestingly, Ronaldo and Amorim played alongside each other in the Portugal national team and they share the same age.

However, Ronaldo has yet to hang up his boots as he continues his playing career in Saudi Arabia with Al-Nassr.

Amorim decided to retire from playing in 2017 before thriving as a manager and earning the United job.

He replaces Erik ten Hag in doing so and it has been well documented that Ronaldo didn’t see eye-to-eye with the Dutchman during his second stint at the club, which ended in tears.

Now, Ronaldo has given Amorim’s arrival his rubber stamp of approval.

After scoring a brace in Portugal’s 4-1 Nations League win over Poland, Ronaldo said (via Fabrizio Romano): “I wish Man United and Ruben Amorim the best of luck in the world.”
