Ronaldo Stuns United with Brace Against Rivals LiverpoolRonaldo Stuns United with Brace Against Rivals Liverpool In a pulsating clash at Old Trafford, Cristiano Ronaldo etched his name into the annals of Manchester United folklore with a stunning brace against arch-rivals Liverpool. The Portuguese superstar, making his second debut for the Red Devils, put the hosts ahead in the 5th minute with a clinical finish from inside the area. Liverpool responded through Mohamed Salah’s equalizer just nine minutes later. But Ronaldo was not to be denied. In the 38th minute, he received a pass from Jadon Sancho on the left-hand side and unleashed an unstoppable shot that flew past Alisson into the far corner. Old Trafford erupted as the home crowd witnessed Ronaldo’s brilliance yet again. The goal extended his remarkable scoring record against Liverpool to five goals in seven games. Liverpool, inspired by Salah, threatened an equalizer in the second half, but United defended resolutely. David de Gea pulled off a series of impressive saves to keep the visitors at bay. As the final whistle blew, United celebrated a famous 2-1 victory that lifted them to the top of the Premier League table. Ronaldo’s brace not only earned the Red Devils all three points but also sent a clear message to their rivals that they are a force to be reckoned with this season. “Cristiano is a special player,” said United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. “He showed us today what he is capable of. His goals were world-class, and they inspired the whole team.” Ronaldo, who received a standing ovation from the United faithful, was equally delighted with the performance. “It was an incredible feeling to score two goals against Liverpool,” he said. “I am so happy to be back at Old Trafford and to help the team win.” The victory against Liverpool marked a significant milestone in Ronaldo’s second spell at Manchester United. It cemented his status as a legend at the club and served as a reminder that, even at the age of 36, he remains one of the most feared strikers in the world.
