Manchester United fans make Cristiano Ronaldo 'revenge' claim after Portugal World Cup draw

Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal were drawn against Uruguay in Friday's 2022 World Cup draw and fans were all saying the same thing.

It is a rematch of the 2018 World Cup quarter-final as a double from Edinson Cavani sealed a 2-1 win and ended Portugual's hopes of reaching the last four. The pair, now both at Manchester United, will now meet again in Qatar.

Manchester United teammate Bruno Fernandes scored twice against North Macedonia to seal their spot in November's competition.

Much of the debate prior to their clash with North Macedonia was surrounding Ronaldo's future at international level. However, he quashed the speculation, telling reporters: "I'm starting to see that many of you ask the same question. I'm the one who will decide my future, nobody else."
