CRISTIANO RONALDO has told Erik ten Hag to listen to the advice of club legend Ruud van Nistelrooy - or forget about leading Manchester back into the big time.
United Van Nistelrooy returned to Old Trafford this summer to become Ten Hag's No.2 in the dugout.
And the two Dutchman have been charged with bringing the good times back to a club that has been the laughingstock of English football for almost a decade.
Ronaldo knows a thing or two about what it takes to be a winner with United.
During a glittering first spell with the club he inspired them to nine major trophies, including the Champions League in 2008.
And Ronaldo reckons the knowledge Van Nistelrooy has of his own success as a United player is crucial to Ten Hag's chances of winning big trophies for the English giants.
The former striker scored 95 league goals in 150 appearances, as well as winning four trophies.
