Manchester United’s Ronaldo has ended GOAT debate – Ex-Nigeria star Olorundare

The Portugal superstar marked his return to Old Trafford with a brace as the Red Devils strolled past Steve Bruce’s Magpies on Saturday

The endless debate over who is the greater player between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo "is over", according to ex-Nigeria international Dele Olorundare, who has described the Manchester United superstar as the "greatest ever".

The former Super Eagle made this statement following the Portugal international’s heroics against Newcastle United, where he scored two goals in the 4-1 triumph.

In the five-goal thriller against the Magpies, Ronaldo put Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men ahead in the closing stages of the first half before completing his double two minutes after the hour mark thanks to an assist from Luke Shaw.
