Cristiano Ronaldo's 2003 debut team-mates 18 years later

It was clear that Cristiano Ronaldo was going to be a special player when he made his Manchester United debut in 2003.

Now, 18 years on from his first performance at Old Trafford, Ronaldo is set to grace the Theatre of Dreams once again following his sensational return to the club from Juventus in the summer.

The Portugal international has been made to wait to make his second United bow due to the international break, and there are even suggestions now he will have to sit out Saturday's match against Newcastle.
