More than 12 years later, Cristiano Ronaldo wore the Manchester United shirt again. After starring in one of the biggest bombs on the market, the Madeira star re-debuted with the 'Red Devils' this September 11 against Newcastle. All the spotlights were focused on the five-time Ballon d'Or, who from the opening whistle was very motivated and participatory to try to do what he does best: score goals.

His teammates and CR7 himself tried it incessantly against the magpies, but the target resisted to the disappointment of the stands with the break already around the corner. However, when the first act was dying, the moment most desired and dreamed of by all occurred: Cristiano Ronaldo scored with Manchester United for the first time since May 10, 2009 (his last goal had been that day against City ).

The Portuguese, a predator in the area, perfectly took advantage of a poor clearance from Newcastle's goal after a long shot from Greenwood and, at pleasure, scored a 1-0 in the first half added that unleashed the madness at Old Trafford.

The truth is that there is still a long way to go in the afternoon at Old Trafford. It is true, the joy is immense, and the emotion of seeing him mark Cristiano again, will surely be unforgettable. However, there are 45 minutes left, and from now on things will not be complete, if Manchester United does not manage to get the 3 points. For now, win they 1 to 0.
