MANCHESTER, England -- It's never easy to turn back the clock and recreate magic moments -- they say never go back, after all -- but Cristiano Ronaldo's football career has always defied logic and by, making a spectacular return to Manchester United with two goals in a 4-1 win against Newcastle United, he showed again that he only follows his own script.
Such is Ronaldo's pursuit of perfection that the 36-year-old probably left Old Trafford disappointed that he didn't mark his second United debut, which came 18 years after his first, by scoring a hat trick.
