The four-time Ballon D’Or winner could line up against Steve Bruce’s Newcastle United in his first game back.

Newcastle travel to face Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men on Saturday 11 September for a scheduled 3pm kick-off.

Ronaldo famously scored a hat-trick in a 6-0 win for the Red Devil’s against a Newcastle United side managed by caretaker boss Nigel Pearson at the time.
