What Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo did in Old Trafford tunnel spotted on camera

A Cristiano Ronaldo moment was captured on camera in the Old Trafford tunnel before Manchester United kicked off against Norwich City.

United welcomed Norwich on Saturday afternoon and they made an excellent start to the game when going 2-0 up through Cristiano Ronaldo, however, the visitors managed to claw a goal back just before half-time to shock United thanks to Kieran Dowell. Old Trafford was stunned again shortly after the interval when Teemu Pukki scored a well-taken equaliser to make the game 2-2.

United had surrendered their two-goal lead and they needed another to prevent embarrassment. Ronaldo has scored countless important goals this season and he delivered again versus Norwich, completing his hat-trick to score the game's deciding goal.

Ronaldo deservedly took the plaudits after the match and fans online praised him again after the game's tunnel came footage was released. The footage was taken before kick-off and Ronaldo is seen walking down the line of United players to greet each player.

Ronaldo has a quick chat with David de Gea before greeting Maguire and moving back towards the end of the line.

United supporters on social media were quick to observe Ronaldo's leadership qualities. Maguire's captaincy has been brought into question this season and he's standing motionless on the footage while Ronaldo seemingly attempts to rally his teammates.

Ronaldo's future at United remains unclear. He's got another year remaining on his contract, after arriving at the club in September last year.
