Ronaldo spotted on Old Trafford pitch for first time

Newly signed Manchester United star -- Cristiano Ronaldo has been seen for the first time on the Old Trafford pitch alongside Wes Brown in photos leaked on social media.

The ex-Juventus star has already trained with his new teammates at the club's Carrington complex.

The Red Devils moved quickly to bring in the 36-year-old player 'home' after he decided to leave the Old Ladies.

United's near neighbours City were reportedly close to signing Ronaldo before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer swept in to snap up the striker.

The returning hero was also spotted on the hallowed turf at Old Trafford with former Red Devil Wes Brown.

The Red Devils take on Newcastle United this Saturday at Old Trafford and the fans are anxiously awaiting news of whether the five-time Champions League winner will make the starting line-up for the showdown with the Magpies.

In more immediate matters, Manchester United hope to welcome Ronaldo back to the squad for Saturday's 3 pm kick-off at home to Newcastle.

Man United are hoping Ronaldo can spearhead the club to their first Premier League title since 2013.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer held talks with the new arrival earlier this week before he got to work on the training pitch.

The player and his family are now setting up in a seven-bedroom, £6million Cheshire mansion.
