Cristiano Ronaldo is looking forward to the Champions League clash against his former team Sporting CP. The Bernabeu legend started his professional career at the Lisbon side before moving to Manchester United in 2003.

The Portuguese netted once when his side recorded a 2-1 win over Sporting at the Santiago Bernabeu and he is looking forward to another reunion on November 22.
“It is always special to be back,” he told Sky Sports. “I remember going back to Old Trafford two or three years ago and now to go back to Sporting, which was the team that created me from 11 to 18 years old."
“It is always a pleasure to be back and see my old stadium and my old friends. It will be amazing, but of course I have to defend my colours and I want to win the game. We need to win, too.”
Former United boss Alex Ferguson snapped up the then 18-year old after a fine performance in a 3-1 friendly win.
“I had always been dreaming of playing for a big club, which Manchester United were at the time,” he continued.
“But things went really fast after that game against them. I moved to Manchester a few months later, it was great.“
"I remember playing against them in Lisbon and I put in a good performance. Alex Ferguson acted quickly and I then moved to Manchester United. I knew I had played a good game, but I did not expect to have made such an impact on some of the players. It was a pleasure for me. I was really happy that people liked my performance.”
