After 12 long years, Cristiano Ronaldo took the field at Old Trafford as a Red Devil. The legendary baller returned to his boyhood club having conquered Europe. Ronaldo made his second debut for Manchester United on Saturday against New Castle and he did so in style.
On his second debut at Old Trafford, Ronaldo thumped two goals to make a statement. The first of it was a simple tap in as the ball made its way to the Portuguese skipper’s path after being deflected by the New Castel shot stopper. As Ronaldo made his iconic celebration after tapping in the opening goal, his mother could be seen in tears in the stand.
His mother Dolores Aveiro took a private jet to be in attendance for his son’s second Manchester United debut and Ronaldo didn’t disappoint. Dolores could contain her tears of happiness as her prodigal son gave the hosts the lead.
