Speaking in an interview on Manchester United’s official website, the five-time Ballon D’or winner said: “What I have to say to the fans is they are amazing.
“Even when you’ve lost the game, they always support us, they’re always with us.
“The supporters are always in my heart and it’s the people that all should respect because they are always on our side.
“For example the first game, of course, I not only felt it in the game but one day before in the hotel.
“I was a little bit nervous before, which is normal, but things are going well. I started the game, I scored two goals and it was very, very nice.”
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo had also debunked claims that he plays for personal records.

“It’s always nice to score goals for this club. When it is a hat trick it’s even more [nice].
“But the most important thing for me is to try to win the games and try to win some championship or some cup but I believe that Manchester will be where they belong. Sometimes it takes time, but I still believe.”
Ronaldo also added that it is important that the young players get the opportunity to showcase their talents.
Cristiano Ronaldo added: “I’m in favor that we should give opportunities to the young generation because they will be the future,’ Ronaldo said in an interview on the club’s website.
“You have to give them time, the opportunity, and let them grow in a normal way without pressure.
“They understand, to achieve the success you have to sacrifice, work hard, have the work ethic, dedication. But of course, if the kids ask me for advice I will give my opinion and advice because I want to help.”
