Cristiano Ronaldo Scores Brace in Triumphant Manchester United Return

Appearing in his first match for Manchester United since 2009, Cristiano Ronaldo electrified the home crowd at Old Trafford by scoring twice in a 4-1 win over Newcastle United.

Manchester United completed the signing of Ronaldo from Juventus last month, and it didn't take long for the superstar striker from Portugal to make an impact.

During stoppage time in the first half, Ronaldo deposited a rebound off a shot from Mason Greenwood into the back of the net to give the Red Devils a 1-0 lead:
