The 37-year-old forward wore United’s new red and white shirt as the club presented their kit to Old Trafford fans.
However, a special ad involving Ronaldo is being withheld until the club gain clarity on his future after the Portugal international told the Red Devils he wanted to leave this summer should they receive a suitable offer for him.
