The fighter had also met former UTD boss Sir Alex Ferguson few days back
A couple of days back, the fighter had also posted moments featuring former United boss Sir Alex Ferguson with a caption that said, "it was a great honor to speak with a Legend."
Ronaldo didn't feature in United's starting line-up for the match against Everton recently. The match eventually ended in a draw.
Both Pogba and Ronaldo came on as substitutes but failed to inspire their team to a win, as manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was left scratching his head on near-misses throughout the match.
Manchester United are currently fourth in the Premier League table with four wins, two draws and a loss.
They are scheduled to face Leicester City, away, on October 16.
