He has been called up to the France national team and featured in the side’s recent World Cup run.

Ronaldo's Saudi invite
Cristiano Ronaldo has invited some of his Manchester United pals on holiday to join him in a proper goodbye.

He signed a £170million-a-year deal with Saudi side Al Nassr — the richest football deal ever.
Ronaldo, 37, is currently having a luxury home built on the outskirts of Lisbon and has texted some of his pals at United about getting together over the summer.
He has also asked if they would be interested in watching him play for his new club in the Middle East, if schedules allow it.
