The city of Manchester is currently buzzing with excitement, with two legendary sports personalities – Virat Kohli and Cristiano Ronaldo – preparing for a high-octane weekend. The Portuguese superstar is expected to make his second Manchester United debut in the Premier League when they take on Newcastle United at Old Trafford on Saturday. Meanwhile, Kohli is in Manchester for India’s fifth and final Test match against England, which begins on September 10. Hence, fans were left in anticipation when Lancashire Cricket posted a picture of Virat Kohli asking everyone on Twitter if they imagined “a joint training session between the Indian cricket captain and Ronaldo at Old Trafford”. United decided to cherish the moment by commenting “one city, two goats”.
