GEORGINA RODRIGUEZ is on her way to Old Trafford to watch partner Cristiano Ronaldo play for Manchester United.
The Portugal captain, 36, is expected to START against Newcastle in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Rodriguez hinted Ronaldo will be in the starting XI by posting a boomerang of her being chauffeured to Old Trafford on Instagram.
And the Insta story included a countdown timer to kick-off, which also suggest he’s been given the nod by manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
SunSport revealed on Saturday morning that Ronaldo would start against the Magpies, 12 years after he left Man Utd for Real Madrid.
Solskjaer has promised supporters the Portuguese forward is an even better player than the superstar that said bye to Old Trafford in 2009.
The manager said: “He has evolved as a player. I don’t think you’ll see those 18,19, 20 step-overs before he goes past you but he still has them, the step-over, shift and shoot.
“He has developed into one of the most accurate finishers I have seen. What he developed in his years at Real Madrid has impressed us all.

“He is one of the best of course in the air, his timing and desire to get on the end of crosses is second to non.
“He still hits the target 99 times out of 100 when he shoots from outside the box as well.
“He knows the game more, definitely, he knows which positions to drop into and when to run in behind and he is still as quick it looks like from the stats.
“He’s in such good nick still and will be looking in the next few years to play and score as many goals as he can.
“We don’t have his skill set in the team, the mix, no one has really. He is one of the best players that’s ever played the game.”
