Ronaldo scores brace on Manchester United return | The Informant247
Cristiano Ronaldo announced his return to the English Premier League in style on Saturday; scoring a brace in Manchester United’s 4-1 win over Newcastle United.
The Portuguese man, who made his second coming at Old Trafford, scored his first goal at the cusp of half-time, gobbling up a spill from the Newcastle goalkeeper.
The Magpies rallied back as Javier Manquillo bought Newcastle back into the game with a driving effort in the early stages of the second half.
However, Ronaldo showed he deserves every penny spent on bringing him back after over a decade; scoring his second goal within a few minutes after a through ball from Luke Shaw.
It was all about Ronaldo in Saturday’s tie as Bruno Fernandes added another goal for United with a long-range effort in the 80th-minute. Jesse Lingard sealed the big win with his first league goal in the 90th minute.
