Cristiano Ronaldo has been photographed for the first time since signing a new contract with Manchester United this summer.
Last Friday, Ronaldo, 36, appeared to be on the verge of completing a move from Juventus to Manchester City, United’s arch rivals, 12 years after leaving Old Trafford.
After the influence of United icons Sir Alex Ferguson and Rio Ferdinand, Ronaldo changed his mind and re-signed for the Red Devils for an initial sum of £12.85 million.

The legendary striker has agreed to a two-year deal in the north-west, with United having the option to extend it by another year.
Though Ronaldo’s new number has yet to be announced — Edinson Cavani is still wearing the No.7 – a sequence of images from an official photoshoot were posted on Tuesday night, showing the Portuguese happily wearing United’s renowned red once again.
Ronaldo was with United for six years in his initial spell after arriving as an 18-year-old from Sporting in 2003, helping the club win three Premier League titles and the Champions League in 2007/08.
The attacker established himself as one of the greatest players in history across a phenomenal nine-year stay with Real Madrid before spending the next three years of his career in Italy with Juventus.
The Turin club finished fourth in Serie A last season, but Ronaldo was the division’s leading scorer, with 29 goals in 33 appearances.
‘Of course the fans have been delighted for the last couple of days, we all are,’ United head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said of Ronaldo’s arrival. He’s had such a successful career and has been with us for quite some time.
‘Of course, he’ll raise everyone’s morale.’ I played with him, and he’s a fantastic player, a fantastic person being, and a fantastic professional, so he’ll excite everyone in the squad and around the club.
