CRISTIANO RONALDO was the first player to congratulate team-mate Bruno Fernandes on his winning goal against Southampton.
The 37-year-old started Saturday’s game from the bench, but had one of the best views inside St Mary’s for Fernandes’ opener in Manchester United’s 1-0 win.
Ronaldo was limbering up on the touchline as Fernandes expertly met Diogo Dalot’s cross to put the Red Devils 1-0 up.
The wantaway forward met Fernandes at the corner flag and the duo were shortly swarmed by United team-mates and subs.
New signing Casemiro also got in on the act.
But Ronaldo’s excitement for the goal had fans all saying how much they loved to see CR7 get in on the act and show how much Manchester United winning means to him.
