Mr Partridge himself added: "Only last year I appeared on Football Focus talking about the history of the FA Cup, and now I get another opportunity to handle a piece of footballing history.

"With Cristiano Ronaldo being such a global ambassador for the sport, the auction is bound to generate interest from all over the world, yet we have the opportunity to sell it just a few miles away from where he spent so many years entertaining fans in Manchester".

The plate is accompanied by the certificate of entitlement, meaning there are no restrictions for any buyers.
