Two Newcastle players begged for the Jersey of the Portuguese icon after Saturday’s defeat to Manchester United.

Captain Jamaal Lascelles and Joelinton spoke to the returning icon after the game and some furious Toon fans believe they asked for his jersey.

Adam Crafton of The Athletic tweeted that he thought he saw ‘more than one’ Newcastle player ask Ronaldo for his jersey after the game.

The suspicion was reaffirmed by Rory Smith of the New York Times, who thought Lascelles asked before ‘someone else’ tried to nab it off the skipper.

Video footage suggests that the player is Joelinton, with Ronaldo appearing to point at another player and telling him the shirt’s already been taken.

There’s every chance the players were just congratulating the Man Utd star after his stunning second Prem debut, scoring a brace against Newcastle.
