The Portuguese superstar spent six years at United before leaving in 2009 to join Real Madrid. During his nine seasons in Spain, he has faced the Red Devils three times, winning twice and drawing the other.

He has scored in both his starts against United, while his record against his former coach Jose Mourinho is not as great. In 14 appearances against teams coached by Mourinho, Ronaldo has only scored once.

The United boss, meanwhile, has faced Juventus five times during his managerial career, winning three of those games, while drawing and losing one apiece. Mourinho won all three home games against the Serie A giants without conceding a single goal.

While United are struggling to find form and only sit in 10th place in the Premier League, Juventus are leading Serie A unbeaten but dropped points for the first time in their 1-1 draw against Genoa on the weekend.

Both sides have faced each other 12 times so far, winning five apiece and two matches ending in a draw.
