'He's back' - Manchester United fans go wild after Cristiano Ronaldo scores vs Sheriff

Cristiano Ronaldo ended his wait for his first goal of the season after netting Manchester United's second during their Europa League clash with Sheriff Tiraspol at the Zimbru Stadium on Thursday evening.

After taking a 17th-minute lead through Jadon Sancho, United doubled their advantage six minutes before half-time via the penalty spot. Diogo Dalot was brought down inside the penalty area, leaving Ronaldo with the task of trying to end his dry spell.

The Portugal captain, making his first Europa League appearance (then the UEFA Cup) in 20 years, made no mistake, firing the ball down the middle to score his first goal since Erik ten Hag took charge as manager during the summer. He raced away to celebrate and it was greeted by a classic 'Siuuu' by the travelling contingent of United fans who had made the trip to Moldova, as well as several in the home sections.

Deployed up front in the absence of the injured Marcus Rashford, the goal will have lifted the pressure on the United forward. He desperately needed to leave his calling card and he did just that via 12 yards.
