‘Out of this world’: Sky man claims £300m p/w Man United star absolutely stunned FC Sheriff victory

Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United on Thursday, marking the occasion with his 701st career goal. Man United defeated Sheriff Tiraspol 3-0 at Old Trafford, thanks to a strike from Cristiano Ronaldo. Dalot and Rashford also scored for the hosts against Sheriff.

What does United’s triumph mean? It set up a Europa League group decider in Spain with Real Sociedad next week. To top the group, the Premier League side must avenge their setback on matchday one and win by two goals. This will help them escape a play-off against European powers Barcelona, Juventus, or Atletico Madrid.

Cristiano Ronaldo returned from exile to score United’s third goal, securing their place in the next round. The hosts got off to a fast start, controlling the game from the first minute. Man United continued to launch barrages of attempts, but FC Sheriff’s defense remained steadfast in thwarting any inroads from the hosts.

Manchester United had to wait to score until the final minute of the first half. Diogo Dalot scored after Christian Eriksen blasted in a fantastic cross from the corner. United made two substitutions in the second half, with Marcus Rashford replacing Antony and Harry Maguire replacing Lisandro Martinez.

Marcus Rashford extended his team’s lead just after the hour mark. To startle their Moldovian opponents, the English forward headed his side’s second goal from a superb cross. Cristiano Ronaldo eventually scored the third goal for his team late in the game. Ronaldo’s spectacular header was saved thanks to a fantastic cross from Bruno. Ronaldo, on the other hand, scored in the round.
