Cristiano Ronaldo made his second debut for Manchester United in Saturday’s 4-1 win over Newcastle in the Premier League. The occasion was all about Ronaldo as he made his return to the United side after a 12-year absence. Ronaldo’s opportunities on the ball were perhaps fewer than he would have liked but that did not prevent him making telling contributions. Ronaldo provided a lot of goal threat, firing wide early on and having another couple of efforts blocked. Yet his name was certainly still written large all over this game and he delivered when it mattered.
