Rafael da Silva admits he's grateful for the support he's received from Cristiano Ronaldo as he's settled at Manchester United.

Rafael revealed: "I will never forget the first training session with Cristiano Ronaldo. I think it was my third trip to Manchester. I was 16 and we were going to play a game in Belgium. I scored in that game.

"Ronaldo is a sensational person. Very humble and he jokes with us all the time and is nothing like his public superstar image."
