Legendary Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo texted him after he scored the last gasp winner against Villareal.

The legendary ex-United and England defender said: ‘He texted me tonight saying, ”I didn’t play well but I knew I’d score”, and that’s the belief he has.

‘United’s performance today wasn’t great, it wasn’t at the level Ole wants it to be. But when you need a goal, a moment to galvanise the squad, the stadium, the fanbase, Cristiano Ronaldo steps up.
