Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice on his return to Manchester United as they beat Newcastle United 4-1 this morning.
Cheered from the moment he left the team bus on its arrival at the ground, throughout the warm-up and then once the game had started, Ronaldo repaid the backing in the best possible manner.
Twelve years after he last scored for Manchester United in this stadium, Ronaldo broke the deadlock in first-half added time when he tapped in after visiting keeper Freddie Woodman spilled Mason Greenwood's shot.
Then, after Javier Manquillo had levelled with his first Newcastle goal, Ronaldo finished off a flowing move by racing on to Luke Shaw's through ball and drilling a low shot through Woodman's legs.
In other matches this morning, Manchester City beat Leicester City 1-0, Arsenal overcame Norwich 1-0 while Chelsea beat Aston Villa 3-0.
