Cristiano Ronaldo's 81st minute header was all Manchester United needed to complete their dramatic comeback win over Atalanta at Old Trafford.

Mario Pasalic and Merih Demiral gave the visitors the lead in the 15th and 28th minutes respectively.

But that was not enough to earn them a win as a goal each from Marcus Rashford, Harry Maguire and Cristiano Ronaldo helped the home team turn the game entirely around.

The drama came when the Portuguese grabbed the winner with nine minutes left to play in the encounter as they claim their second group game this campaign according to Mirror UK.

And after the hard-fought win, Ronaldo took to his social media platform with over 300 million followers, saying:

"Yes! The Theater Of Dreams is on fire! We are alive! We are Man. United and we never give up! This is Old Trafford!"

Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's men currently sit at the summit of the Group F table with six points after three games and they will hope to maintain the momentum all through the group stage.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo has scored three goals in three Champions League appearances this campaign and with his form, he has the chance to score more before the season ends.
