Former Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo has been called up to the Portugal squad by new manager Roberto Martinez.

Before now, there were questions concerning Ronaldo’s international future after he fell out with former manager Fernando Santos at the World Cup.

Martinez joined the Portugal national team after a poor World Cup outing with Belgium and promised to speak to Ronaldo about his role in the team.

The 38-year-old, who now plays his club football in Saudi Arabia, has now been called up to their latest squad, with Martinez saying: “Cristiano Ronaldo is a very committed player.

“He can bring experience and is a very important figure for the team. I don’t look at age.”
