Cristiano Ronaldo needed just one half of football to get back among the goals for Manchester United, with the Portuguese superstar netting on his second debut for the club.
t looked like being a frustrating opening 45 minutes for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner against Newcastle, but Old Trafford erupted in stoppage-time when the deadlock was finally broken.
The vast majority of those in attendance were there to witness the return of a prodigal son, and he did not disappoint when giving the masses what they wanted.
The 36-year-old, who was handed a started berth by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, took a while to get his eye back in after 12 years away from a Premier League stage.
A couple of half-chances passed him by early on, with one wild swing with his left foot drawing ironic cheers and a knowing smile from United’s No.7.
He was, however, to show in the closing stages of the first half that he has lost none of his touch in front of goal.
