After being unveiled as the new head coach of Portugal on Monday, Roberto Martinez confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo is in his plans for the team, and that he wants to hold talks with the Al Nassr striker.

However, Martinez isn’t ruling out a first-team return for the 37-year-old – who has scored 118 goals in 196 caps.
