Gary Neville has emphatically backed Cristiano Ronaldo to succeed in a 'cameo role' at a top European club after the superstar mutually agreed to terminate his contract with Manchester United.

Ronaldo was shown the Old Trafford exit door while on World Cup duties with Portugal in Qatar, starring at the Middle Eastern tournament as a free agent on the lookout for a new club.

The 37-year-old will now target a place in one of this season's remaining Champions League squads as the superstar seeks to cement his space as the competition's top-ever goalscorer ahead of Lionel Messi.
