Piers Morgan reunited with Cristiano Ronaldo over two years after their bombshell interview. Morgan was in Riyadh and watched Ronaldo's side Al-Nassr claim a 3-1 win over Al Fateh on Sunday night. The Portuguese superstar got on the scoresheet with three minutes remaining and thought he netted another in the dying stages of the Saudi Pro League clash.

The 39-year-old struck a thumping shot into the top corner from a tight angle - but after a VAR review the goal was ruled out for offside. Ronaldo embraced Morgan with a hug next to the tunnel once the match ended and the latter was surprised the goal didn't stand.

Ronaldo eventually agreed to leave United by mutual consent midway through his second season. Just over a month later, Ronaldo would secure an eye-watering £175m-a-year deal with Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Nassr - kicking off a revolution of high-profile players who would join him in the country's top division for vast sums of money.
