'Difference' — Manchester United fans react to Cristiano Ronaldo's Paul Pogba hint

Manchester United fans have been offered another much-needed silver lining by Cristiano Ronaldo.

The 36-year-old has done his bit for the Old Trafford cause this season with 14 goals in 21 outings, having completed a sensational return move from Juventus during the summer transfer window.

Overall, though, there has been precious little for Ronaldo to savour from a team perspective. United's form has been poor and they remain off the pace even in the stakes for a top four challenge.

Paul Pogba, meanwhile, started the campaign in blistering fashion by providing four assists on the opening day but, due to dwindling form and injury, the World Cup winner has not kicked a ball for more than two months.

There remains growing speculation over his future, too, as he continues into the final months of his contract.

Interim manager Ralf Rangnick previously suggested Pogba (thigh) would not return until late February.

However, on his social media profiles, five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo has provided an uplifting proposition for United supporters as they dream about those superstars operating in tandem, once again.

With Pogba and Ronaldo back in training together, here are a selection of responses taken from social media platform Twitter;

@AnthonyHela7 said: "Pogba and Ronaldo together. Can't wait to see that on the pitch."

@deeeepy_ posted: "[It's been] Depressing for months then seeing a picture of Ronaldo and Pogba to make me happy and believe."

@guccipogbaV3 added: "Pogba and Ronaldo could pull a team through any game at any moment."

@zahirrrs said: "Who would've thought seeing Pogba, Ronaldo and [Phil] Jones in the same picture in 2022."

@Gunwood777 posted: "If we use Pogba, properly in an advanced position, he could be the difference in getting top-four and not."

@Ray99UTD added: "Can't wait to see Pogba back on the pitch with Ronaldo."
