When did Ronaldo join Man Utd? Cristiano’s contract details and net worth

Cristiano Ronaldo has not had an ideal homecoming at Manchester United since returning to Old Trafford.

Ronaldo has almost as many yellow cards (4) to his name in the Premier League as non-penalty goals (5) and his latest antics in the draw with Newcastle United led to criticism aplenty.

Both Ronaldo and fellow United star Bruno Fernandes ignored supporters at the end of the game and went straight down the tunnel at St James' Park.

This sparked a strong response from club legend Gary Neville, who told Sky Sports: "It's annoyed me for about two months.

"The best players in your team, it's devastating when they're showing that look and body language to the younger ones. They have to help them.

"At the end of the day, I love that lad [Ronaldo], he's the best I've ever seen in my life at times, but don't run off like that. I'm not having that."

The aftermath of the draw at Newcastle has United fans asking a number of questions. Here is all the latest news on Ronaldo.
