Manchester United v Juventus: Match Preview, Team News, Predicted Line-up | Champions League 2018-19

By


The prodigal son returns to the hallowed grounds that saw the rise and rise of the young Portuguese winger from Madeira.
On Wednesday when Manchester United hosts Juventus at the Old Trafford the Stretford end will once again sing the song "Viva Ronaldo" with the Portuguese winger donning the famous black and white striped jersey of the Old Lady of Turin. The match will also witness Paul Pogba playing his first match against his former club since his switch to the red of Manchester.
This will be the first time since 2013, when Alex Ferguson infamously snubbed the post-match interview due to a harsh red card awarded to another Portuguese winger Nani, that Cristiano Ronaldo will be playing at the ground where he took his first step towards greatness.
Manchester.
This will also be the first time in 15 years that the two European giants will be facing off against each other and only the third time since the classic 1998/1999 UEFA Champions League semi-finals.
