Erik ten Hag is "confident" Cristiano Ronaldo will continue scoring after finding the net in his return to the starting line-up as Manchester United eased to a three-goal win over FC Sheriff Tiraspol.
The Portuguese superstar was restored to United's line-up for the first time after storming down the tunnel at Old Trafford following United's dominant two-goal victory over Tottenham last week – forcing boss Ten Hag to axe the star for the following trip to Chelsea last weekend. The forward returned from a temporary exile from first-team training on Monday.
Ronaldo found the net with ten minutes remaining to complete a comfortable victory for United, who unsurprisingly dominated the encounter from start to finish. Ten Hag's side will now need to win away to Real Sociedad by two goals to win the group and avoid a Round of 32 playoff game in the Europa League.
