Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes says Cristiano Ronaldo always has his eye on Red Devils

Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has revealed that his countryman and former United star Cristiano Ronaldo regularly asks him about the latest developments at the Old Trafford club.

Ronaldo left Manchester United 11 years ago to join Real Madrid in a then world record deal worth around £80m.

Like Ronaldo, Fernandes too joined Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon, and according to the Daily Mail, the midfielder has said that he speaks regularly with Ronaldo about happenings at Old Trafford.

Fernandes followed in the footsteps of Ronaldo by joining Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon, and has admitted that he regularly speaks to the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.

When asked whether he asked Ronaldo for advice before his move from Lisbon to Manchester United, Fernandes told the club's official website: "I spoke with him after, not before. I said before - Manchester, for me, was the dream team.

"I always wanted to play for this team and it doesn't matter who can talk about it – bad or good, I will come.

"It was my dream to play in the Premier League, and I had the choice to come to Manchester United and it was two dreams in one. It was perfect," Fernandes said.
