With Cristiano Ronaldo marking his return with a brace, Manchester United sealed a 4-1 win against Newcastle United in the Premier League, at Old Trafford on Saturday. The Portugal captain scored his first goal at the cusp of half-time, via a deflection. Javier Manquillo bought Newcastle back into the game with a driving effort in the early stages of second-half. But Ronaldo had other plans, scoring his second goal within a few minutes after a through ball from Luke Shaw. Bruno Fernandes added another goal for United with a long-range effort in the 80th-minute. Jesse Lingard, who came in as a substitute, scored another goal for the home side in the dying stages of injury time.
