Cristiano Ronaldo put Manchester United ahead of Newcastle
Saturday’s Premier League clash at Old Trafford.
He scored at the first-half extra time after receiving a
hero’s welcome at Old Trafford as he made his second debut for Manchester
United.
The football superstar scored after Mason Greenwood’s shot
bounces off Newcastle’s goalkeeper Freddie Woodman.
He was close to scoring 10 minutes into the game as a quick
turn of feet gave him a yard of space in the penalty area but he fired into the
side-netting.
The goal is Ronaldo’s 119th Manchester United goal and the
first in 12 years.
The Portugal attacker tapped home in first-half stoppage time
after Newcastle goalkeeper Freddie Woodman could only parry Mason Greenwood’s
shot.
Ronaldo’s breakthrough is the only goal in the six 3 pm
Premier League fixtures so far this afternoon.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner, who left United to join
Real Madrid in 2009, returned to the club where he made his name as a global
star last month from Juventus.
Since joining United Ronaldo broke the all-time
international goalscoring record with his 110th goal for Portugal in a World
Cup qualifier win against the Republic of Ireland.
Having being suspended for the subsequent game against
Azerbaijan for removing his shirt in celebration, he jetted to England and has
been training with his new team-mates for the past few days.
Ronaldo is joined by United’s other summer signings Raphael
Varane and Jadon Sancho in a star-studded team also including Paul Pogba and Bruno
Fernandes.
Ronaldo won three Premier League titles and the Champions
League during six trophy-laden years with United, before going on to shine with
Real and Juventus.
