Cristiano Ronaldo given new nickname as Man Utd dressing room friendship blossoms

Cristiano Ronaldo has been given a new nickname by his Manchester United teammates as Erik ten Hag continues to reunite his dressing room.

The 37-year-old scored his first goal of the season as the Red Devils ran out comfortable 2-0 winners over Moldovan side Sheriff last Thursday - with Jadon Sancho netting United's other. It was an important moment for Ronaldo, who has struggled to get going this season whilst dealing with a lack of playing time.

He has found himself out of the starting XI in the Premier League, with Marcus Rashford preferred through the middle in recent weeks. The latter has scored three goals in his last four appearances, including two in a 3-1 win over Arsenal in the Red Devils' last league outing before their games against Crystal Palace and Leeds United were both postponed.
