Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo have both played for Portugal and will now have the opportunity to team up at Old Trafford.
According to Bruno Fernandes, Cristiano Ronaldo's return to Old Trafford will instill confidence and help Manchester United win titles.
Last season, Fernandes was United's most important player, scoring 18 goals and providing 12 assists in the Premier League as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side finished second in the league.
Ronaldo will now join his Portugal teammate, returning to Manchester after a 12-year hiatus, where he previously scored 118 goals in 292 games in all competitions.
In the absence of Ronaldo, Fernandes, who had a game-high five passes and an assist against Azerbaijan, praised the quality and confidence the all-time leading international scorer will provide.
"We know there will be a lot of excitement because everyone knows Cristiano and is really thrilled and confident to have him back," Fernandes said after the game on RTP3.
Ronaldo might make his Premier League comeback as early as September 11 against Newcastle United, the only team against whom the 36-year-old scored a hat-trick before leaving Manchester United in 2009.
Despite the rumored rivalry, Liverpool striker Diogo Jota, who scored in a 3-0 win over Azerbaijan while also taking a team-high five shots, is looking forward to a challenging Premier League season with Ronaldo back.
