Ronaldo, who is now with Real Madrid, then scored a goal and provided two assists to lead United to a 4-0 win. The 33-year-old Portuguese also had a chance to visit South Korea in 2009, but he completed his move to Madrid then and did not travel with the United squad.

Ronaldo scored four goals at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, including a hat-trick against Spain. Portugal, however, was eliminated in the round of 16.
