Rio Ferdinand has revealed Cristiano Ronaldo texted him insisting he knew he would score against Villarreal after netting a last-gasp winner for Manchester United.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men went behind when Paco Alcacer stabbed home Arnaut Danjuma's cross in the second half, after a first 45 minutes in which the Spanish side were wasteful in front of goal.

Alex Telles equalised for the hosts - his first for the club - with a superb volley from Bruno Fernandes' free-kick, but the Red Devils were still staring at the prospect of beginning their Champions League campaign with just one point in two games as they entered added time.
