The veteran forward was selected to start against the Magpies at Old Trafford due to the absence of Anthony Martial, whilst Red Devils academy graduate Marcus Rashford had to make do with a place on the bench due to illness. Ronaldo however could not inspire Erik ten Hag ’s men as they stumbled to a miserable 0-0 draw against Newcastle - a result that leaves the side fifth in the current Premier League standings.
