Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo has extended his best wishes to Ruben Amorim, the newly appointed Manchester United head coach, according to Metro.
The 39-year-old Amorim officially began his tenure at United’s Carrington Training Centre earlier this week, stepping in to replace Erik ten Hag.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who left Manchester United under contentious circumstances last year following a public fallout with Ten Hag, expressed his delight at seeing his compatriot take charge of the Premier League side.
The Portuguese superstar was speaking after scoring in Portugal’s emphatic 5-1 victory over Poland during Friday’s international fixture.

Cristiano Ronaldo on Amorim
“I wish Manchester United and Ruben Amorim the best of luck in the world,” Ronaldo said when asked about Amorim’s new role.
Amorim arrives at Old Trafford with an impressive resume, having secured multiple titles with Sporting CP in Portugal, including two league championships.
The young manager is regarded as one of Europe’s most promising coaches and is expected to implement his signature 3-4-3 tactical system at United.
His first test as United manager will be an away match against Ipswich Town after the ongoing international break.
Fans and pundits alike are eager to see how Amorim reshapes the Red Devils, who are struggling in the bottom half of the Premier League table this season.
