Ronaldo Day at Old Trafford

Or should we say Portuguese Day! Ronaldo had a spectacular return to Manchester, scoring two goals...but it was Bruno Fernandes who had the best goal of all as Man U demolished Newcastle 4-1, despite an impressive equalizer from Javi Manquillo. Oh, and Jesse Lingard's late goal wasn't bad either.


Ronaldo has been a scoring machine as this graphic from the Guardian shows. As a young phenom with the Red Devils over a decade ago, he had a goal-to-game ratio of 0.40, and then, remarkably, over 1.0 in his prime years at Real Madrid. Even more remarkable, he kept his production rate near 1.0 at Juventus in his mid thirties! Let's see what he can do in second spell at Manchester.
