The Portuguese superstar, who re-joined the Red Devils this summer after 12 years away, received a thunderous ovation from the Old Trafford crowd as he entered the fray in the second half. Just minutes later, he demonstrated his enduring class with a breathtaking aerial effort. Luke Shaw’s pinpoint cross from the left found Ronaldo unmarked six yards out.

The goal was a reminder of Ronaldo’s unyielding hunger for success and his ability to make a decisive impact even in the twilight of his career. It also signaled a change of fortunes for United, who endured a disappointing campaign last season. “It was an unforgettable moment,” beamed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the United manager. “Cristiano is a true legend and to see him score like that on his return was breathtaking. It’s a massive boost for the team and the fans.” Ronaldo’s header put the icing on the cake of a convincing performance by United. Jadon Sancho opened the scoring with a crisp finish, followed by a cool strike from Anthony Martial. Bruno Fernandes added a fourth late on to complete the rout. The victory was a morale-boosting result for United as they prepare for the upcoming Premier League season. With Ronaldo back in the fold, they will fancy their chances of challenging for silverware once again. As the final whistle blew, Ronaldo was mobbed by his adoring teammates. The crowd erupted in a chorus of “Viva Ronaldo,” their voices echoing through the stadium. For United fans, it was a night to savor—the return of their prodigal son and a glimpse of the future.
