YouTube sensation Speed had his dream of watching Cristiano Ronaldo in action ruined after he flew over from the US to see his hero play for Manchester United against Aston Villa on Thursday, only for the forward to miss out on the matchday squad due to illness.
Ronaldo has been welcomed back into the United first-team in recent weeks after being banished from the squad for storming down the tunnel before full time against Tottenham last month, and he captained the team in the Premier League on Sunday.
However, when the line-up was announced for the match at Old Trafford on Thursday, he was a surprise omission from the teamsheet.
