Cristiano Ronaldo sends message to Manchester United fans after Arsenal win

Cristiano Ronaldo has told Manchester United fans there is 'no time to celebrate' as they continue on the road to where they want to be.

After he was benched for the draw vs Chelsea, five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo silenced his critics - yet again - with a match-winning double at Old Trafford.

They were his 11th and 12th goals since re-signing for United during the summer transfer window.

It's a result which moved the Premier League giants to within three points of fourth-placed West Ham.

But the Portuguese sensation has urged his teammates to keep on improving.

United are preparing for the start of a new era as Ralf Rangnick takes interim charge until the end of the season. He has now been granted a work permit and the innovative German steps in for Michael Carrick - who announced that he will be leaving Old Trafford minutes after securing victory over Arsenal.

The departing caretaker manager had Ronaldo to thank for settling the scores in that topsy-turvy encounter.

Addressing his 372million followers on his Instagram profile, Ronaldo said: "Our minds are already set on the next game, there's no time to celebrate.

"This win was very important to get back on track, but there's still a long road to go until we reach our destination.

"Congrats to all my teammates - great spirit tonight! And a very special thank you to our supporters as we couldn't have done it without you."
