The former Belgium manager was criticised for his time in charge of the Red Devils but did build his tenure on making light work of these kind of games and, clearly, Portugal are huge favourites as the journey to Germany 2024 begins.

The Roberto Martínez era begins for Portugal as they kick off their Euro 2024 qualification campaign against lowly Liechtenstein in Lisbon on Thursday.

Portugal has qualified for all 12 major tournaments this century and should have little trouble keeping that record. Indeed, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, who is the all-time international leading goalscorer with 118 goals, has been called up by Roberto Martinez, and could feature in this game as he looks to break the record of most appearances in the international circuit, currently sitting on 196 caps. Given his relatively fruitless work with Belgium's golden generation, Martinez certainly has big shoes to fill in, and prove naysayers wrong.

A Cristiano Ronaldo brace, as well as goals from Joao Cancelo and Bernardo Silva, gave Portugal an easy win over Liechtenstein to open Euro 2024 qualifying.

Ronaldo provided the third, tucking a penalty into the bottom corner after Joao Cancelo was tripped inside the box. The captain added the fourth after an hour, blasting a free-kick off Buchel's palms and into the top corner, to round off a near-perfect start to his side's qualifying campaign. They grabbed a second shortly after the half, Bernardo Silva lashing a shot through a crowd of bodies and past a helpless Buchel.
