In the summer of 2009, Cristiano Ronaldo stood at the top of the world and became the world's most expensive player when he left Manchester for Madrid.
There he reaped great success, moved to Juventus, became Italian champion - and this summer he returned to United.
Expectations were high for the Portuguese superstar when he stepped out at Old Trafford today with number seven on his back.
As usual, Ronaldo was last out on the field when the players marched out on the field - and as usual he found right in front of goal.
Overrun
Visiting Newcastle had to give up when Ronaldo pushed in a return to 1-0 in the first half and tunneled the goalkeeper to 2-1 in the second.
Countryman Bruno Fernandes sent in beautifully 3-1 and via a delicious combination game placed Jesse Lingaard in 4-1.
United thus passes Tottenham and is the new league leader in the Premier League, with ten points out of twelve possible.
