Ronaldo is first teammate to celebrate Fernandes’ goal vs Southampton

37-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo started yet another game on the bench when Manchester United faced Southampton at Saint Mary’s stadium on Saturday.

The Red Devils’ season had gotten off to a poor start, facing two embarrassing opening defeats against Brighton and Hove Albion and Brentford.

Luckily the 20-time-league winners managed to turn their lousy form around with an emphatic 2-1 win over Liverpool on Monday.
