'It's like he never left': Marcus Rashford leads the tributes to Cristiano Ronaldo after scoring TWICE on his second debut at Manchester United against Newcastle as delighted supporters admit: 'It had to be him'

Marcus Rashford led the tributes to Cristiano Ronaldo on social media after the Portuguese superstar netted twice on his second Manchester United debut against Newcastle on Saturday.

Supporters had been eagerly awaiting his appearance at Old Trafford, with thousands gathering wearing his classic No 7 shirt and hoping to catch a glimpse of him in the stadium after sealing his fairytale return from Juventus for £12million.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer threw him straight into the mix by naming him in the starting XI as the main striker in front of Bruno Fernandes, and Ronaldo repaid his faith by tapping home against the Magpies in the first half to make it 1-0.
