The Portugal star was in Moldova recently as Manchester United faced FC Sheriff in their second group match of the Europa League.
Before the match, the United team bus was leaving Moldova's capital city Chisinau when a little boy wearing Ronaldo's number 7 jersey dashed past security to meet the legendary footballer. In return, Ronaldo hugged the young kid and then even went a step further and welcomed the child onto the team bus with him, presumably to meet the rest of the squad.
