The Portuguese striker returned to Manchester United as he reaches the twilight of his career after a £12.85million deal with Juventus on transfer deadline day.
And the superstar hit the ground running opening the scoring for United in first half stoppage-time against the Magpies with an easy finish.
Newcastle restored parity in the 55th minute, but Ronaldo put his side back ahead with another exquisite finish.
The entire Theatre of Dreams went wild following Ronaldo’s performance that his mother was filled with emotions.
She was captured in 'tears of joy' before Bruno Fernandes and then Jesse Lingard put the icing on the cake as United routed their visitors 4.1.
After the match, Ronaldo wrote on Instagram:
“My return to Old Trafford was just a brief reminder of why this stadium is known as the Theater of Dreams. For me, it has always been a magical place where you can achieve everything you set your mind into.
“Along with all my teammates and with the amazing support that we always get from the stands, we face the road ahead with confidence and optimism that we’ll all be celebrating together in the end.
“Proud to be back at Man. United and playing in the Premier League once again, but above all, happy to help the team!”
