Ronaldo also met some of his new United teammates who are not representing their national sides during the international break and took part in a light session.

In a brief video released by United, Ronaldo was seen walking to the training session alongside Juan Mata.

“Cristiano met with boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, his former team-mate, in the manager’s office before being introduced to the players who are currently hard at work in training,’ read a statement from United.

“The spectacular signing from Juventus joined the session with his colleagues and wasted no time in getting acquainted with the group.’

Ronaldo is available to make his debut when the Premier League returns this weekend as United host Newcastle at Old Trafford.
