'BEING A FATHER IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT'

Cristiano Ronaldo, who is expecting twins with Georgina Rodriguez, has explained how being a dad is a unique joy.

Whilst with Real Madrid, the Manchester United legend he told The Player's Tribune: "When you are a father, it is a completely different feeling. A feeling that I cannot describe.

"This is why my time in Madrid has been special. I have been a footballer, yes, but also a father.

"There is a moment with my son that I will always remember so clearly.

"When I think about it, I feel warm. It was the moment on the field after we won the last Champions League final in Cardiff. We made history that night.

"When I was on the pitch after the final whistle, it felt like I had sent a message to the world.

"But then my son came on the field to celebrate with me … and it was like the snap of a finger. Suddenly, the entire emotion changed.

"It is a joy that I did not understand until I was a father."

DOTING DOLORES SENDS BABY MESSAGE TO RON

Minutes after the Manchester United striker announced to the world his partner Georgina Rodriguez was pregnant with twins, Dolores Aveiro wrote on his Instagram: “Let my grandchildren be born healthy. That’s what matters the most."

The 66-year-old, who suffered a life-threatening stroke last year, posted the twins’ ultrasounds on an Instagram Story around the same time along with an applause emoji.

The footballer’s two sisters have yet to react on social media, although Katia Aveiro showed earlier in the day her two children are big fans by posting footage of them playing football with their uncle’s number seven Man United shirt on.

Georgina’s elder sister Ivana, who confirmed in July she was expecting her first child with her painter and sculptor partner Carlos Garcia, also congratulated the footballer and his partner by writing on Cristiano’s and her sibling’s Instagrams in Spanish: “Congratulations, family.”

Ivana, daughter of an Argentine former footballer and a Spanish mum thought to live in Catalonia, revealed her own happy news to the world with an Instagram post filmed at a beach in the northern Spanish town of Gijon where they live and she had written the words ‘Baby is coming’ using pebbles and the sand.

She told partner Carlos Garcia in a message along the homemade footage ‘I love you’ describing the news as a miracle and the surprise of her life.

She went on to post a selfie at the same beach with the father of the unborn child on the same beach, writing 'Miracle of life. We are waiting for you little one' in Spanish before adding in English: “We are waiting…our little angel.”

RON STILL HAS TIME FOR FANS...

MESSAGES FLOOD IN FOR RON AND GEORGINA

Manchester United superstar and Georgina Rodriguez might soon not have as much time for social media as usual...

But as they announced Georgina is expecting twins - meaning Ronaldo will have six kids - it was online where messages flooded in.

DONNY AND BAILLY WANT ANSWERS

Donny van de Beek and Eric Bailly are seeking assurances over their futures after feeling exiled at Manchester United.

Van De Beek, 24, has started just four Premier League games since he arrived in a £35million switch from Ajax in the summer of 2020 and only one as sub this season.

This despite United crying out for some creativity in midfield.

And while the Red Devils leak goals like a sieve, Bailly has been rooted to the bench making just one appearance in the League Cup defeat to West Ham.

The 27-year-old was particularly angry not to start the away game at Leicester with Harry Maguire rushed back from injury after just one training session instead.

United would go on to lose the game 4-2 with Maguire having a stinker.

Captain Maguire’s form has gone with question marks over whether he has fully recovered from his calf injury.

It has left Ivory Coast star Bailly wondering why he was encouraged to sign a new contract last April keeping him at the club until 2024.

CRIS HAS LIFE OF BLISS

Earlier this month,the Man Utd legend, 36, left partner Georgina Rodriguez, 27, speechless with a gift for the Spanish beauty - a £105,000 Louis Vuitton jewellery trunk

But it should come as no surprise that this loved-up pair lead an extravagant romance.

After all, they live a life of luxury and are accustomed to ONLY the finer things in life.

LEFT BEHIND

John O'Shea has revealed how Manchester United's team bus once drove off to a hotel without him during his earliest days at the club.

And the moment was initiated by ex-United skipper Roy Keane in a bid to teach the former Red Devils midfielder to avoid being late.

O'Shea, 40, told United's web site: "I can see the bus moving and I’ve not parked the car yet, I’m nearly in. But then the bus is gone.

"So, I can see Roy and a few of the senior players and I’m thinking they’ve done me here.

"So, I’m panicking, thinking will I drive the car back? We were staying in Alderley Edge at the time, so I’m thinking what am I going to do here?

"Quick little panic and then I thought, right, I’ll leave the car here and get a taxi and I’ll still get to the hotel in time.

"Roy was teaching me a bit of a lesson there and, to be fair, it was my own fault. I should have known, prepared better, known the distance from the house."

However the Anfield hero believes that another Reds legend could be in contention for the Old Trafford chief's role.

Rush, 60, told Gambling.com: "I like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, he’s a good guy, but sometimes good people don’t make the best managers.

"I think he deserves a little more time because you shouldn’t sack a manager unless you have a replacement lined up, and I’m not sure United have the ideal candidate in place.

"I think they’ll stick with Ole for now but the next few games will decide his future so we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

“They’ve got Tottenham and Atalanta away and then Manchester City at home so it’s a tough run of games.

"I think (Brendan" Rodgers is an excellent manager but all indications are that he’s happy at Leicester and he’s building something really strong there."

MUST BOUNCE BACK

Saha told Sky Sports: "I always look at the United side and think where things are going well and strong everything is perfect.

"I really think in some moments, especially those moments when there is a need of a big reaction, you need characters.

"You need those who take the leadership to show it."

JUVE'S POG MOVE

Paul Pogba's agent is reportedly set to hold meetings with management officials at Juventus amid speculation of a possible Turin move for the France star.

"However, Mino Raiola (Haaland's agent) realised that Erling is better off with us."

CONTE'S KEEN
