Cristiano Ronaldo got off to a great start in his first game back in a Man Utd jersey when he shot twice against Newcastle.
What did Cristiano Ronaldo say?
The Portuguese star says moving back to the Red Devils is the best decision he has made. Cristiano Ronaldo made a dream come true to return to Old Trafford as he scored twice on his second debut for Man Utd as they beat Newcastle 4-1 on Saturday. The 36-year-old Cristiano was signed from Juve at the end of the transfer window as Utd stepped in to make sure he didn’t end up in a rival Man City that looked set to land him.
The former Real Madrid star says things worked out for the best and that he hopes to help steer Juve into silverware. In an interview with Cristiano Ronaldo said that this is the best decision he has made. It was the right time. According to Ronaldo, he wants to make history, help Manchester to have great results and win trophies.
Playing with the best is a great pleasure
Cristiano’s return to the Utd sees him reuniting with ex-Madrid teammate Varane, who also joined the club in the summer window. The pair spent seven years together at the Santiago Bernabeu before Cristiano left to join Juve and the defender happily sided with him again. Raphael Varane said playing with the best is a great pleasure. Ronaldo is a great professional, physically he is always in the best condition, he always has such a quality finish. According to Varane, what Cristiano will bring to this team is his will to win, his victorious mentality.
What will happen next?
The Utd is now turning its attention to the Champions League as they prepare to take the Swiss side of the Young Boys in their first group stage game on Tuesday. Solskjær’s men then had a double header against West Ham, facing the Moyes’ team for the first time in the Premier League on September 19, before welcoming them to Old Trafford in the Carabao Cup three days later.
