Man Utd kid Hansen-Aarøen: People go quiet when Ronaldo walks by

Manchester United midfielder Isak Hansen-Aarøen admits he's pinching himself over his first team promotion.

The 17-year-old made his United debut against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday, the same match in which Cristiano Ronaldo marked his return to action under new manager Erik ten Hag.

"Ronaldo is something for himself," he told Dagbladet. "You notice if Ronaldo walks past. You will notice that he is a big person. It gets a bit quiet, and people really look up to him.

"Everyone takes good care of us. It's really random who you sit with and talk to. Ronaldo is perhaps something for himself.

"I think he seems like a very nice guy. You have to have confidence when you play football. Without it, you cannot perform. I think it has something to do with the fact that those who have the best confidence are often the ones who perform the best."
