Cristiano Ronaldo is back at Manchester United, and if the club's matches weren't already must-watch with one of the most star-studded attacks in Europe, they just got a lot more interesting.
The Red Devils acquired Ronaldo in a £13 million transfer from Italian side Juventus, reuniting him with a club for which he starred over six seasons (2003-09) and became one of the best players in the game. And now he gets set to make his second debut for the club on Saturday against Newcastle United at Old Trafford.
Manchester United have since confirmed Ronaldo would be starting against Newcastle.

Ronaldo has trained all week with his new club following his participation with Portugal in a September World Cup qualifier against the Republic of Ireland. His two late goals won the match for the Portuguese and gave Ronaldo the all-time international goals record for me. A yellow card received for taking off his shirt in celebration triggered an automatic suspension which ruled him out of Portugal's other qualifier against Azerbaijan and allowed him to join Manchester United early.
