Cristiano Ronaldo may have exchanged words with one former Manchester United team-mate this week, but it was all smiles when he met Rio Ferdinand.
The 37-year-old is United’s top scorer and is back in the United lineup for the trip to Everton having missed out against Leicester City last time out. In his absence, the Red Devils toiled to a dour 1-1 draw at Old Trafford, a result which put a massive dent in their top-four aspirations.
The no-show continued a worrying trend for United without the Portuguese talisman, failing to win any of the six matches he has missed since returning at the start of the season. Nevertheless, his place in the United team and his impact in the Premier League has been questioned, with the team going backwards since joining from Juventus.
