Former Manchester United forward cristiano Ronaldo is set to captain Riyadh FC (Best XI of AL Nassr & AL Hilal) against PSG in a Friendly on 19th January.
The Portuguese ace, who left Old Trafford will play his first match on Saudi Arabian later this week, with an All-Star XI, consisting of players from Al-Nassr and Al Hilal, taking on French giants PSG at the King Fahd Stadium in Riyadh.
Al-Nassr manager Rudi Garcia recently confirmed that the 37-year-old would feature in the friendly, before making his competitive debut for the Saudi Pro League outfit against Ettifaq on Sunday.
It has since emerged that Ronaldo will captain the All-Star XI against PSG, with the former Real Madrid attacker set to come up against long-time rival Lionel Messi.
Ronaldo is yet to make his competitive debut for Al-Nassr, despite joining the club towards the end of December. He has missed the Saudi Arabian side’s last two matches through suspension, which came as a result of him smashing an Everton fan’s phone last April.
