• This was after Ronaldo scored a brace on his second Manchester United debut over the weekend

Cristiano Ronaldo made his second debut for Manchester United in their 4-1 triumph over Newcastle United last weekend.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner grabbed a brace on his homecoming for the Red Devils while Bruno Fernandes and Jesse Lingard also got on the scores sheet.
