Manchester United midfielder Fred is excited playing with new teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo completed a shock return to United on transfer deadline day, 12 years after leaving Old Trafford for Real Madrid, and is in line to make his second Premier League debut against Newcastle United on Saturday afternoon.

"It's so good training with Cristiano, he is a very good guy, the best player you know about," the Brazilian midfielder told the United Daily podcast.

"We are so happy to have Cristiano here with us, and I hope he can bring us titles."

Fred suggested training with a player of Ronaldo's calibre will be a major boost for United players.

"He is an amazing player, you know the difference when you look at him," he continued.

"With the ball, without the ball, he works a lot and it's so good for us. We are so happy to have Cristiano here.

"We know who Cristiano Ronaldo is because he likes to win, he pushes everyone, so you need to be at your best to get with him.

"It's so good for us because he pushes everyone, we can win every game, so it's so important."
