LONDON (AFP) - Cristiano Ronaldo received a hero's welcome at Old Trafford on Saturday (Sept 11), walking out of the tunnel to rapturous applause during his second debut for Manchester United.

United fans, who were all eagerly waiting to see the Portuguese forward back in action for their club again, were also cheering for their star during the team warm-up ahead of their Premier League match against Newcastle. Most of the fans were on their feet, taking photos, some waving the Portugal flag in what was an electrifying atmosphere at United's home ground.
