Gareth Bale is backing former Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo to be a big hit with Manchester United.

Ronaldo enjoyed a first training session with his new United teammates today.

Wales captain is watching development closely and said: “I'm sure he will do well.

“He's proven it before in the Premier League so he understands the league. He has done everything there is in football.

"His goal-scoring ability is matched by no one else so I'm sure he is going to come in, do well and score a lot of goals.

“I'm excited to see it like everyone else, I'm sure."
