Cristiano Ronaldo lights up Old Trafford on return with brace in Manchester United rout

18 years ago, Cristiano Ronaldo taught Jesse Lingard some skills when he was in the Man United academy.
Today, they both scored and celebrated together at Old Trafford! 🤝

Cristiano Ronaldo made a sensational return to the Premier League as he scored two crucial goals in Manchester United’s 4-1 win over Newcastle.

The Portuguese star opened his account shortly before half-time but Newcastle threatened to spoil his United comeback following an equaliser from Javier Manquillo.

But Ronaldo struck once more after the break to double his tally and re-establish United’s lead, in front of a raucous home crowd at Old Trafford.

Bruno Fernandes and Jesse Lingard made the scoreline more comfortable for the hosts late on, but the afternoon was all about one man as Ronaldo marked his return to English football with three points.
