United midfielder Herrera told the club’s official website on two eagerly-anticipated matches: “He [Ronaldo] came back with Real Madrid and I think our fans still love him, what he did for the club was great. But I hope he enjoys it only before the game!

“It will be very special for Paul to go back to Italy, to Turin. He went there as a kid and he became a man there and then he came back home.

“I think the fans still love him as well and they will give him a very warm reception. But let’s focus on the game as it will be special.”

Herrera added: “It’s a big challenge for us but I’m happy with the group because I think we perform better against top teams and Juventus is the biggest club in Italy.

“They have done amazing in the last few years, it looks like they have a very strong club – the connection between the players, the manager and the fans is great.

“So I think it’s going to be interesting for all our fans and for Paul it will be special and for Cristiano Ronaldo too. It’ll be a good game to play.”
