Manchester United fans have been reacting to Bruno Fernandes greeting teammate Cristiano Ronaldo for the first time since the former Real Madrid man's interview with Piers Morgan.
In a video broadcast on CNN, Fernandes is seen entering the Portugal national team dressing room. Initially, the midfielder appears to walk past his 37-year-old club and international teammate while putting something down in the spot next to Ronaldo.

Having seen the footage of Fernandes' reception for Ronaldo, many leapt to the side of the midfielder. Here is what some had to say on Twitter:
