Manchester United beat Newcastle United 4-1 at Old Trafford in the Premier League.A brace from returning hero Cristiano Ronaldo followed by goals from Bruno Fernandes and Jesse Lingard helped the Red Devils to another massive league win.It wasn't always as smooth-sailing though, with the hosts struggling to break down a stoic Magpies defense.However, a spill from goalkeeper Freddie Woodman allowed Ronaldo to top home the opener.Javier Manquillo restored parity for the visitors against the run of play from a nice counter-attack, but Ronaldo restored their lead minutes later.Fernandes then added more daylight with an absolute belter of a strike, with Lingard rounding off the rout with a beautiful goal too.Props to Newcastle for a courageous show but the day belonged to Ronaldo and co., with the Portuguese announcing his return to the Premier League with a bang.Here are the player ratings for Manchester United:David de Gea - 7/10He was a busy man, having to remain vigilant and come off his line to make a few punches. The Spaniard made one close-range stop to deny Joelinton in the second-half, his best moment of the match.Aaron Wan-Bissaka - 7/10Saint-Maximin was a big threat for him early on, but Wan-Bissaka handled him well and then got on the attacking foot, driving forward to make a lot of crosses. However, not all of them were accurate.Raphael Varane - 7/10His positioning was suspect at times and didn't react quickly in the build-up to Newcastle's goal, but overall a dependable figure in defense. He dominated his aerial duels too, winning all five of them.Harry Maguire - 7.5/10The Manchester United captain was a huge figure during the early exchanges, blocking a few shots and making crucial interceptions, but remained composed and positionally aware even when the visitors were on the backfoot.Luke Shaw - 8/10Another incredible performance from the Manchester United left-back who took the left flank by storm with his imperious attacking flair. He laid four key passes and created a few good chances with excellent corner-kicks too.Paul Pogba - 8.5/10Graceful, silky and devastating, Pogba continued his fine run of form with another talismanic performance which yielded two more assists.Nemanja Matic - 7/10The Serbian provided a strong cover for the back four and played a big role in regaining possession. His distributions skills were top-notch too.Mason Greenwood - 6.5/10Besides a few good runs and moments of link-ups with fellow attacking cohorts, Greenwood offered precious little.Bruno Fernandes - 8.5/10He was all fired up for the occasion, making a lot of runs in behind and laying plenty of crosses. Scored an absolute screamer too.𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗕𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗼 ✔️#MUFC | @B_Fernandes8 pic.twitter.com/YN0vWuhPgV— Manchester United (@ManUtd) September 11, 2021Jadon Sancho - 6.5/10Besides a lot of runs and dribbling attempts, Sancho struggled to fully impose himself in the game. A disappointing outing for him in Manchester United colours by all standards.Cristiano Ronaldo - 9/10A dream return to Old Trafford for the Portuguese talisman, who scored two key goals on the evening to start his second Manchester United term with a bang.12y 124d - Cristiano Ronaldo has scored his first Premier League goal since May 2009 (v Man City); his gap of 12 years and 124 days between goals is the second-longest between two strikes by any player in the competition's history, after Matt Jackson (13y 187d, 1993-2006).
