Man United 3-0 Sheriff Tiraspol
Manchester United news, exclusives and analysis
Cristiano Ronaldo got the goal he desperately craved on his Manchester United return as they coasted to a 3-0 victory over Sheriff Tiraspol at Old Trafford last night.
The Portuguese superstar was back in Erik ten Hag’s starting XI having been left out of the squad for the weekend draw at Chelsea for refusing to come on as a substitute in the league win over Tottenham.
And at times he cut a figure of frustration, not least just over the hour when he guided Bruno Fernandes’ header down into the net only to be denied by the offside flag. The 37-year-old was perhaps fortunate to escape a yellow card for petulantly drop-kicking the ball into the Stretford End.
