Ronaldo, 38, is looking to add to his 200 caps against Slovakia and Luxembourg.

The striker will also be aiming to extend his international goalscoring record, which stands at 123 goals.

To do so he may need help from former United team-mate Bruno Fernandes, who is likely to start both games.

The midfielder was spotted in training alongside Ronaldo and fellow Red Devil Diogo Dalot.

The pair were seen hugging and smiling with each other when they reunited for the first time since Ronaldo’s exit in March.

Ronaldo slammed several aspects of the club when he left the Red Devils but pointed to Dalot as one of the most professional players in the squad alongside Casemiro and Lisandro Martinez.

But the former Real Madrid star’s relationship with Fernandes appeared a little more frosty after he left United, as the pair briefly shook hands while linking up for the national team.
