Cristiano Ronaldo's sister, Katia Aveiro, has come out in defence of the Juventus forward after his red card in the 2-0 win against Valencia on Wednesday. Ronaldo was dismissed on his Champions League debut for Juve after a clash with Jeison Murillo was spotted by the assistant referee and communicated to German referee Felix Brych, who drew a red card from his top pocket.

Martial signed a new five-year contract on Thursday that will keep him at the club until 2024. Solskjaer admitted the 23-year-old has had "ups and down" since arriving at Old Trafford in 2015 but now wants him to follow in Ronaldo's footsteps having watched the Portugal international develop into one of the world's best while they were teammates under Sir Alex Ferguson.
