The prospect of Cristiano Ronaldo potentially linking up with Tom Huddlestone at Manchester United has got many fans talking. Ronaldo was axed from the squad for tomorrow’s game against Chelsea after he refused to come on as a sub against Tottenham and left Old Trafford early.
The 37-year-old was told to train on his own while the rest of the team prepare for the trip to Stamford Bridge. And he could end up maintaining his fitness alongside United’s Under-21 squad - which includes ex-Tottenham and England midfielder Huddlestone.
In August, the 35-year-old signed for United as a player-coach for its under-21 team, replacing Paul McShane. Huddlestone hit the headlines himself after helping the youngsters to draw with Fleetwood in the Papa John’s Trophy this week.
Here's how some United fans reacted on Twitter.
Alexei said "That Tom Huddlestone and Cristiano Ronaldo duo in the under 23’s is going to be deadly".
Billie's words, "Can learn a thing or two from Tommy Huddlestone that’s for sure, might make him better than Messi now"
