This week the sports news was enlivened with the results of Cristiano Ronaldo's debut in the English Premier League. The Manchester United striker returned to compete at the Old Trafford stadium to defend his youth club and had positive results.

The match against Newcastle United was centered on Ronaldo, who returned to compete at United after a long time. This inaugural match even made British football figures come to watch. Call it Sir Alex Ferguson, Ronaldo's former coach when he was first at United.

The course of Ronaldo's first game was slow. United's attacks were blocked by Newcastle defenders well. Several times even Newcastle United carried out attacks that endangered United's goal.

The deadlock broke towards the end of the first half. Ronaldo managed to register his name on the scoreboard after receiving the ball from the Newcastle goalkeeper. The score of one blank lasts until the first half is over.
