Manchester United Women's head coach Marc Skinner has revealed that the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo has been a massive boost for not only the men's team but everyone at the club.

Marc Skinner says he can sense the positive vibes surrounding Manchester United ever since Cristiano Ronaldo left Juventus. The women's team head coach believes the arrival of the five-time Ballon d'Or winner will galvanize all teams surrounding Manchester United.

Skinner said:

"We feel in the staff - it's not even just the players - with Cristiano returning, it becomes part of the bigger construct of the club. You can feel the vibes that are changing in the teams."
"I was speaking to someone who's been here a long time because obviously, that's how you get to know the history of the club as well, and they can feel a renewed energy, a focus, a connected drive in all of the teams. It feels like, although Manchester can be quite grey, it definitely feels like there's a rise of energy from all the teams in and around Manchester United."

Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival will surely be a sign of a warning to the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea as they are all in the mix for the Premier League title.

Manchester United have had an amazing transfer window this summer. Alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, the Red Devils have also managed to bring in Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund and Raphael Varane from Real Madrid.

Cristiano Ronaldo's return to Manchester United was arguably one of the biggest transfer stories this summer. The 36-year-old superstar has penned a two-year deal with the Red Devils with an option to extend it by another year.

Manchester United have also managed to convince Edinson Cavani to give up his number 7 shirt for Cristiano Ronaldo. The 34-year-old forward will instead wear the 21 shirt for the remainder of the season.
