Cristiano Ronaldo join forces with lookalikes to film Nike advert as Manchester United star returns from holiday

Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo - and two lookalikes - were pictured on a Cheshire playing field on Thursday afternoon.

Ronaldo left Manchester to go on holiday this week, but he's now returned from that trip and he was pictured arriving to film an advert for sportswear giant and CR7 sponsor Nike.

The 37-year-old was joined by two 'Ronaldo lookalikes' at the shoot and the advert is expected to promote new boots. Ronaldo is thought to be Nike's highest-paid athlete and their partnership has existed for almost two decades.

Ronaldo was named the Premier League's Player of the Month on Thursday just before he filmed in Cheshire. Ronaldo scored an impressive five goals in the four games he featured in across April and that haul included a hat-trick against Norwich.

Ronaldo has scored a total of 24 goals in 38 appearances for United this season and only Liverpool's Mohamed Salah and Tottenham's Son Heung-min have more goals in the Premier League. The forward has often single-handedly won points for United this term.

The lookalikes were seen filming action scenes earlier in the day and both men possessed a striking resemblance to the star.
