Cristiano Ronaldo 'brings his old energy back' in new training clip, the Saudi League should be terrified

Cristiano Ronaldo is currently banging the goals in for fun in Al Nassr training - with supporters claiming he's got 'his old energy back'.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner signed his mega-money contract with the Saudi Arabian outfit earlier this month after leaving Manchester United in November.

He was unable to make his debut in Friday's 2-0 win over Al Ta'ee due to a suspension he picked up while playing for United back in April.

As we inch closer to his debut, Al Nassr have been keen to show Ronaldo strutting his stuff in training. Check out the newest footage below.

The 37-year-old looked motivated in the footage, scoring all three of his efforts.

Ronaldo only scored one Premier League goal for United this season prior to his departure, after netting 18 the campaign before.

He believes United manager Erik ten Hag 'disrespected' him during his final weeks at Old Trafford. Ronaldo vented his frustrations in a tell-all interview with Piers Morgan for TalkTV, which forced the club's hand.

The Portugal superstar's contract was terminated via mutual consent during the World Cup, with United thanking him for his years of service across two separate stints.

Supporters have reacted to footage of Ronaldo in action, claiming he looks happy to be at a club that treats him the way he 'deserves'.

One person commented: "I see the old Cristiano Ronaldo energy right there."

A second said: "Ronaldo is happy. Those defences should be terrified."

Someone put: "The goalkeeper has had enough of facing him already. GOAT."

While another added: "He's got such a powerful shot. Nobody wanted to get in his way..."

Ronaldo will earn £175 million-per-year during his time in Saudi Arabia. Al Nassr were forced to deny rumours Ronaldo will double that salary for promoting the nation's bid to co-host the 2030 World Cup alongside Greece and Egypt.

A statement reads: "Al Nassr FC would like to clarify that contrary to news reports, Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract with Al Nassr does not entail commitments to any World Cup bids.

"His main focus is on Al Nassr and to work with his teammates to help the club achieve success."

New Portugal manager Roberto Martinez confirmed earlier this week Ronaldo will be in his plans despite leaving European football.

Ronaldo broke down in tears following Portugal's elimination from last year's World Cup at the hands of Morocco. Back in September, he confirmed he wanted to play international football until Euro 2024 at least.
