Cristiano Ronaldo surprised former Manchester United teammates Roy Keane and Gary Neville before victory over Liverpool on Monday night

Ronaldo came across to speak to the pair, both part of the Sky line-up for Monday Night Football.

The Portuguese star, who has reportedly said he wants to leave Old Trafford in the transfer window, came across to Neville as Keane said "We need to see him out there doing his best."

Keane then added: "I'm glad you're listening to me."

Sky host David Jones said "The main man is here tonight", but was unable to get Cristiano to stop for a word on camera, as the 37-year-old went back to his warm-up, after a quick embrace with the Irishman.

Jones then said of the bizarre encounter: "Nice conversation with you, Jamie", to which Carragher responded: "He totally blanked me!"

"Just like most people do," Jones was quick to retort, leaving the panel in stitches.
