Will you start the Portuguese GOAT against FC Sheriff on Thursday in the Europa League?

Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo is in a good mood as the Red Devils prepare for a road trip in the Europa League. 

United hits the road to face Sheriff in Moldova in the second match of the season in the Europa League on Thursday. 

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored just once in 10 games

After reportedly pushing for a move to leave Old Trafford in the summer after Manchester United failed to make the Champions League,  Ronaldo seems ready to focus on the Europa League. 

He started in the opening game last week as Real Sociedad defeated the Red Devils 1-0 at Old Trafford.

"Starting the week with a good feeling," the Portuguese posted alongside the picture on his IG page.
