The Portuguese record-breaker's return has supplied everybody with a lift and Fred joked that the forward has even brought the sunshine with him to Carrington, following a spell of warm weather in the north west of England.
It is clear that his signing has provided a great deal of good vibes and positivity on the training pitch too – as Fred explained when providing a first full interview in English to MUTV's Stewart Gardner.
“It’s so good training with Cristiano,” said Fred. “He’s a very good guy and the best player, we know about [this], but we are so happy to have Cristiano here with us and I hope we can try to bring us any title for Manchester United.
