Cristiano Ronaldo made a triumphant return to Manchester United on Saturday, and his comeback was worth the wait. The Portuguese football legend scored two goals during the face-off with Newcastle United, in his first Premier League match with the Red Devils in over a decade. Ronaldo proved that he’s still in the top form by scoring two goals and helping Manchester United beat Newcastle 4-1. In addition to Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes and Jesse Lingard added two more goals on Manchester’s lead board, while Javier Manquillo scored the only goal for Newcastle. Ronaldo thanked the fans for the incredible reception during the game and said he was very nervous to hit the pitch before he heard them singing his name. "It was an unbelievable moment. I was super nervous and was thinking last night that I wanted to play good and show I was still capable of helping the team. This club is unbelievable and I am so proud. I am going to give everything to make them proud of me,” Ronaldo told BBC. Ronaldo’s return to Old Trafford was a long time coming, and he hasn’t rocked the iconic no. 7 jersey since leaving the Red Devils in 2009. He went on to spend nine years with Real Madrid and had a three-year stint with Juventus before rejoining Manchester United earlier this summer.
