The match, played at Singapore’s National Stadium, saw United dominate from the outset. Ronaldo opened the scoring in the 21st minute, latching onto a through ball from Donny van de Beek and unleashing a powerful finish into the bottom corner. Just before halftime, the Portuguese superstar doubled United’s lead with a stunning free-kick that curled over the Inter wall and nestled in the far post. The away side managed to pull one back through Romelu Lukaku, but Ronaldo sealed the deal in the 69th minute with a clinical header from Diogo Dalot’s cross. Ronaldo’s hat-trick not only marked a triumphant return to the United fold after his summer break but also showcased his unwavering scoring prowess. The 37-year-old’s performance set the tone for United’s pre-season campaign and sent a strong message to their upcoming Premier League rivals. Inter, on the other hand, struggled to contain Ronaldo’s brilliance and will need to improve defensively ahead of their Serie A title defense. Manager Simone Inzaghi acknowledged the gulf in quality between the two teams and expressed his admiration for Ronaldo’s performance. “Ronaldo is a true legend. He is still one of the best players in the world, and he proved it tonight,” Inzaghi said. “We need to learn from our mistakes and prepare better for the season ahead.” After the match, Ronaldo spoke of his delight at scoring his first goals for United since returning to the club. “I am thrilled to be back. The team is working hard, and I am determined to help them achieve success,” he stated. With Ronaldo in their ranks, Manchester United will be hoping to challenge for major honors in the upcoming season. Their next pre-season fixture is against Atletico Madrid on July 30th, where they will look to continue their impressive form and build momentum ahead of the Premier League campaign.
