Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo says it would be 'spectacular' to score at Old Trafford and is confident of a good reception from Manchester United fans.

United full-back Patrice Evra also expects Ronaldo to be warmly welcomed at Old Trafford, saying: "Cristiano will get a great reception on Tuesday because of what he achieved for Manchester United. "The fans will never forget what he did. Also, he still loves the club. "I remember after the game in Madrid we had a chat. He said it was going to be more difficult to come here. "This is his house, so there will be a lot of emotion. It is difficult when you play with love and I hope he doesn't play well because of that. "But Ronaldo is a winner. He is a big competitor. If he can win against Manchester United he will do it." And United boss Sir Alex Ferguson commented: "Cristiano will get a good reception. All our former players, especially the ones who have been great for this club, get a good reception when they return."
