Bruno Fernandes says Cristiano Ronaldo's success at Manchester United made him "dream" of joining the club and has revaled he thanked his Portugal international team-mate for the kind words he said about him following his move to Old Trafford.
Ronaldo left Sporting to join United back in 2003 and went on to establish himself as one of the finest players to ever grace the Premier League.
The Portuguese helped the Red Devils win three league titles and the Champions League, earning the first Ballon d'Or of his career in the process, before completing a transfer to Real Madrid in 2009.
