Ronaldo needs just 47 minutes to get on Man Utd scoresheet again!

More than 12 years later, Cristiano Ronaldo once again played in a Man Utd shirt. After becoming one of the big signings in the transfer market, the star from Madeira returned to Man Utd on 11st September in a game against Newcastle.

All the spotlight was on the five time Ballon d'Or winner, who seemed very motivated right from the off. He was involved in play and he tried to do what he does best: score goals.

His teammates and CR7 himself were trying constantly against the Magpies, but they were struggling to score, much to the crowd's disappointment. 

However, when the first period was coming to an end, what most people wanted to happen happened: Cristiano Ronaldo scored for the first time for Man Utd since 10th May 2009.

The Portuguese, a goalpoacher in the box, took advantage of a howler by the Newcastle keeper after a long range effort by Mason Greenwood was deflected and he made it 1-0 from inside the six yard box right on half-time.
