Manchester United youngster Alvaro Fernandez has insisted that Cristiano Ronaldo was a massive help to the younger players at Old Trafford prior to his departure from the club.
The 19-year-old defender is spending the season on loan with Championship outfit Preston North End, with the Spaniard having made 30 appearances in all competitions for Ryan Lowe's side. Fernandez, who has registered four assists this term, has impressed since moving out on loan.
Fernandez is yet to feature for United's first-team, but he is highly regarded at Old Trafford and had attracted interest from Premier League and Championship clubs last summer. However, the Lilywhites won the race for his signature due to their development plan for the youngster.
