Cristiano Ronaldo will be in the starting line-up for Manchester United on Saturday against Newcastle United on his return to the Red Devils.
“Everyone is excited about Cristiano’s return,” manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said before the game. “He’s well trained. Everyone can see why he’s still going because he’s very careful and talented in everything he does. We hope that when he goes on the field we get five to 10% more.”
Ronaldo rejoined the club by transferring $ 28 million from Juventus at the end of the summer transfer window. The event marks his return to the club where he became a world star from 2003-2009.
The game will be broadcast on 10 am ET in two US states on USA Network (English) and Universo (Spanish). All NBCUniversal channels are operated fuboTV, which is available to users on a 7-day trial.
Ronaldo’s last game in Manchester United’s shirt was the UEFA Champions League final in 2009 (a 2-0 loss against FC Barcelona), but his last game as a Man United player at Old Trafford was exciting after the club’s 2008-2009 Tournament of the Premier League at home against Arsenal in May 2009. The club moved to Spanish giants Real Madrid and moved to Juventus years later.
