United released a teaser for the video on Twitter where the two Reds heroes can be seen talking things through.

Ferguson said: “It’s vital that people know that you care.”

The camera then switches to Ronnie who, in heartfelt fashion, uttered: “Everything he said to me, he did. And it’s difficult.”

And the clip ends with Fergie who earnestly said: “You’ve got to understand, some things are bigger than a football club.”

Ferguson brought the Portuguese ace to United from Sporting Lisbon in 2003.

And in the next six years, the 36-year-old went on to become one of the best players in the world.

He scored 118 goals and provided 76 assists in 293 games before earning a then-world record £80million move to Real Madrid.

Ronaldo and Fergie built a special bond during their time together at Old Trafford.

And Sir Alex recently confirmed he played an instrumental role in bringing Ronaldo back to the club from Juventus this summer.

The 79-year-old was reported to have personally called the Portuguese great in a bid to convince him to return to United after 12 years away.

Ronaldo had been contemplating a move to United’s cross-town rivals Man City before the intervention by his old boss.

A host of former team-mates and executives are also understood to have made direct pleas to the forward as he pondered a move.

But it was Fergie’s message to the 36-year-old that appears to have been the deciding factor in his move back to United.

Speaking ahead of Ronaldo’s triumphant return against Newcastle, Ferguson told Viaplay: “I’m excited like everyone else, there was anticipation all day yesterday and waking up in the morning.

“I speak for all supporters, it’s a great day for Manchester United.

“A lot of people played their part [in bringing Ronaldo back] and I contributed knowing that really Cristiano wanted to come here and that was important. It worked very well.

“I wouldn’t say it’s emotional but it’s exciting for me and a relief because I couldn’t imagine him playing for Man City, I don’t think anyone could.

“That’s why we took steps to make sure he came here and the club then followed in very well and I spoke to the Glazers and it was done.”
