Cristiano Ronaldo dazzles in training as he shows off his ball-juggling skills in front of team-mates... with the Man United forward in good spirits ahead of Portugal's World Cup squad announcement

Cristiano Ronaldo looked in good spirits as he showed off his fancy footwork in training ahead of Manchester United's Carabao Cup tie with Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Thursday.

The 37-year-old has endured a difficult campaign to date for United, starting just four league games for Erik Ten Hag's side, and he was recently left out of the squad for his side's trip to Chelsea after leaving the bench early to walk down the tunnel against Tottenham.

Ronaldo has been welcomed back into the fold since then, though, and captained United in their 3-1 defeat against Aston Villa on Sunday.
