36-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo is all set play his 1st Manchester United game since returning to the Premier League in a match against Newcastle. Ronaldo returned to Carrington on Tuesday for the first time to begin his training after leaving the club back in 2009. In an interview, Ronaldo stated that he is not here on a vacation and mentioned that he has achieved a lot in his United days and is back here to achieve and win more with the Red Devils.
The Saturday afternoon clash vs Newcastle will be watched keenly by Manchester United fans but will be a dampener to the spirits of the local English supporters. The match won’t be broadcast live in the United Kingdom due to an archaic 3 pm football blackout rule.
