Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in his first game back in England as Manchester United eventually overcame a stubborn Newcastle United performance to clinch a 4-1 victory at a rocking Old Trafford.
The Portuguese attacker opened the scoring in first-half injury-time when he pounced on an error by Freddie Woodman after the Newcastle goalkeeper fumbled a deflected Mason Greenwood shot straight into the veteran's path.
Newcastle, though, threatened to spoil the party after 56 minutes when Javier Manquillo scored his first goal for the club with a composed finish after fine work by Miguel Almiron and Allan Saint-Maximin.
But Ronaldo was not to be denied and the 36-year-old put his team back in front when he blasted a shot through the legs of Woodman six minutes later.
His international teammate Bruno Fernandes then sealed the points with a sweetly-struck shot from the edge of the area with ten minutes to go before substitute Jesse Lingard made it four with a fine finish in injury-time.
The day, though, belonged to Ronaldo and the victory took United to the top of the Premier League with ten points from a possible 12 in the bag. Newcastle sit second from bottom having managed just one point from four games.
