Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal train two days ahead of Ireland clash
Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal train two days ahead of the World Cup qualifier clash against Ireland. Manchester United announced three days ago they reached a deal to re-sign the Portuguese star from Juventus, 12 years after he left Old Trafford for Real Madrid.
Cristiano Ronaldo is training with his Portugal teammates with his move back to Manchester United close to being completed.
The 36-year-old forward looked set to join rivals Manchester City from Italian side Juventus until his old club stole in and persuaded Ronaldo that his future lies once again in a red jersey rather than the sky blue of Pep Guardiola's team.
United are reported to be paying Juve €15 million ($17.7m) plus €8m in add-ons for Ronaldo who scored 188 goals in 292 games in his first spell at Old Trafford, winning the Fifa Club World Cup, Uefa Champions League, Premier League three times, FA Cup once and League Cup twice during his six seasons.
Portugal currently top of their group on seven points from three games, ahead of second placed Serbia on goal difference. Ireland and Azerbaijan are both pointless having lost their opening two games.
