Portugal midfielder, Bruno Fernandes, has revealed his conversation with Cristiano Ronaldo following his bust-up with head coach Jorge Jesus.
Ronaldo left camp before their UEFA Nations League clash with Denmark on Thursday, after Jesus left him on the bench for the Croatia game.
Fernandes was then appointed as captain after the 41-year-old’s exit.
The Manchester United skipper has now publicly addressed the issue.
“I spoke with Cristiano Ronaldo and told him that he is and will always remain the greatest icon of our national team and our country.
“Our national team is united, not divided.
“Matters must be resolved internally and conclude well for both parties.”
