Following his sensational move to Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo will play Premier League football for the first time in over a decade.
Since joining United as a fresh-faced 18-year-old, Ronaldo has since broken records left, right and centre - more recently smashing the men’s all-time international scoring record with his beloved Portugal.
And as he embarks on a second spell at Old Trafford after 12 trophy-laden years away at Real Madrid and Juventus, the 36-year-old will be gearing himself up for his second United debut, but when will it be?
