Cristiano Ronaldo praises 'magical' Old Trafford atmosphere after Manchester United star marks return to the club with two-goal starring role against Newcastle

Cristiano Ronaldo hailed the 'magical' Old Trafford support that greeted him after he scored twice on his Manchester United return in the club's 4-1 win over Newcastle.

The 36-year-old was playing his first match in United colours for more than 12 years when he struck either side of half-time to send the Red Devils top of the Premier League for a few hours at least on Saturday.

In an Instagram post on Saturday night, Portuguese star Ronaldo revealed he pride at being back at the place where he made his name as a footballer and vowed to keep creating moments for the United supporters to savour.
