Cristiano Ronaldo makes request to United fans

Speaking to MUTV’s Stewart Gardner, Cristiano admitted: “Sometimes the players, we try to do our job, to play good and score goals but sometimes it is not possible.

“The fans have this role as well when the team is in a difficult moment, they need to push us. This is why I say and ask them if they can do that.

“They give us motivation to keep going and to keep running and keep believing. So, today, this is what we felt. We are so happy. A very important win and we are in a good way now.”
