Cristiano Ronaldo’s

Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United in typical form – by delivering an epic speech to his teammates and then banging in a brace on his debut in a 4-1 win over Newcastle.

His dressing room rallying cry ahead of the clash was designed to inspire his new colleagues and make it abundantly clear that the prodigal child had finally come home – the man who was going to take Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men back to the promised land.

Of course, things haven’t worked out for Ronaldo or Manchester United, or Solskjaer for that matter. But the Red Devils are now under new leadership in Erik ten Hag and they are slowly but surely starting to turn things around.
