Man United vs Juventus: What Ronaldo will love to do to us at Old Trafford – Mourinho

Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho, has stated that Juventus
forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, will love to score against the Red Devils
despite his affection for the club when both teams clash in tonight's
Champions League fixture.

Ronaldo will face his former club at Old Trafford for the first time
in five years on Tuesday night.

The Portuguese international spent six years at United during former
United boss, Sir Alex Ferguson's reign, winning three Premier League
titles, the Champions League and the Ballon d'Or before moving to Real
Madrid in 2009.

Ronaldo's last appearance against United at their home was in the
knockout stage of the 2012-13 Champions League, when he scored what
proved to be the winning goal in a 3-2 aggregate victory for Real
Madrid.

And Mourinho, who was Madrid's manager at the time, fully expects the
33-year-old to want to strike against United.

Mourinho's side head to the game following a 2-2 draw with Chelsea at
the weekend, while Juventus played a 1-1 draw with Genoa in the Serie
A fixture.

"He [Ronaldo] came back with me in Real Madrid. It was a knockout
match and I know how much he loves Manchester United. I know that, but
I also know how much he wanted to win here and score against
Manchester United and win against Manchester United," Mourinho told
Manchester United's website.

"Ronaldo scored, and they won. So, [on Tuesday], more of the same. The
fans will show the respect he deserves. He will show that to the fans
too. I know that he really loves the club but when the ball starts
rolling, he wants to score, and he wants to win."
