Cristiano Ronaldo was 'super nervous' before Manchester United return

Cristiano Ronaldo was "super nervous" before scoring twice on his much-hyped Manchester United return in their 4-1 win over Newcastle, after which boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said he has allowed fans to "dream" again.

"I didn't expect to score two goals," the Portugal legend said.

"I expected one but not two. It was an unbelievable moment."

Ronaldo scored 118 goals in 292 games goals for United between 2003, when he joined as a teenager, and 2009, when he went to Real Madrid for £80m.

In the next 12 years he scored 551 goals for Real and Juventus before a surprise £12.
