This is not the first time that the forward's sister has been vocal in her support for the Portuguese superstar. She took to Instagram to slam Erik ten Hag after Ronaldo was substituted off during a Manchester United match against Newcastle, on 16 October.
Elma Aveiro has always been supportive of Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo
This won't be the first time that Aveiro has lashed out in defense of her brother. During a difficult set of international games in September, Aveiro slammed Portugal fans with a long post after they criticized Ronaldo's poor performances
She wrote on Instagram:
"He has his family and those who love him by his side. They will always be by his side, no matter what. But the current times don't surprise me at all. The Portuguese spit on the plate they eat [from], it has always been that way. That's why when someone appears from the ashes and changes mentalities, it bothers... With you always, my king."
"Calm down. It is necessary to give a hand to those who have always given theirs to Portugal. But the Portuguese are sick, petty, soulless, stupid, ungrateful and forever ungrateful. This guy who's sitting, he's on his knees... There's no one to give him a hand."
The Portuguese has made just 16 appearances across competitions for United this season, scoring three goals.
