Cristiano Ronaldo has been pictured training with his Manchester United teammates for the first time at Carrington today.
Pictures had emerged of the 36-year-old speaking to his new boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the club’s training ground earlier.
His isolation period is over, having returned early from Portugal duty, as he is suspended for the game against Azerbaijan later today.
Fans will be hoping that his first day in training means he will go straight into the starting line-up ahead of his second debut for The Red Devils against Newcastle United on Saturday.
The excitement of CR7 returning to Old Trafford is building by the day and it would have been a surreal day for his new teammates who had the pleasure of learning from him for the first time today.
Ronaldo was all smiles upon his return to United and he will be eager to hit the ground running when he dons his number seven shirt once again.
United fans will be counting down the days to Saturday ahead of the prodigal son’s return.
