How was Ronaldo’s second stint at Old Trafford in numbers? 

Cristiano Ronaldo made a sensational comeback to reunite with Manchester United from Serie A club Juventus on a transfer fee of 15 million Euros plus eight million Euros in add-ons in the 2021 summer transfer window. The five-time Ballon Dor had arrived as a talented teenager in his first spell under the legendary United boss Sir Alex Ferguson and enjoyed a stellar time with the English giants clinching uncountable titles and trophies.

Ronaldo’s debut was nothing short of a spectacle, netting a brace in his second debut in front of packed Old Trafford, as Man United secured a 4-1 victory over Newcastle United. However, the rest of the journey was full of challenges with his feud with Erik Ten Hag also being among the reasons that led to contract termination in December 2023. During the second spell, the Portugal international had no success in terms of trophies and managed to score 24 goals and three assists in 39 appearances across all competitions.
