In his first start since returning to the Red Devils, the Portuguese maestro stole the show, demonstrating why he remains one of the greatest players of all time. Ronaldo opened the scoring in the 13th minute with a clinical finish from outside the box, setting the tone for what was to come. Just before halftime, Ronaldo doubled United’s advantage with a stunning header, rising above Villa’s defense to connect with a pinpoint cross from Bruno Fernandes. The second half belonged entirely to Ronaldo, as he completed his hat-trick in the 55th minute with another impeccable header, this time from a Luke Shaw corner. Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes added further goals to the United tally, sealing a dominant performance that propelled Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side back into the top four of the Premier League standings. Ronaldo’s hat-trick was his 58th across Europe’s top five leagues, further cementing his legendary status. His return to Old Trafford has re-energized the team and provided a timely boost to their title aspirations.

The future looks bright for the Red Devils, with the return of their prodigal son adding an extra dimension to their attacking prowess.
