Cristiano Ronaldo enjoyed a memorable return to Manchester United
Cristiano Ronaldo was named in the squad for Manchester United’s Champions League opener against Young Boys in Switzerland.
Having scored a brace on his second debut in Saturday’s 4-1 win against Newcastle, the 36-year-old was included in the 22-man squad heading to Bern for Tuesday’s Group F clash.
Ronaldo’s last Champions League match for United was the 2009 final loss to Barcelona in Rome.
Edinson Cavani again misses out with a knock and Dean Henderson is absent as he continues his recovery from Covid-19.
Marcus Rashford, Scott McTominay, Alex Telles and Phil Jones were also absent, with youngsters Anthony Elanga and Matej Kovar included.
