Ronaldo set up the final score as United beat Sheriff Tiraspol 3–0 in the Europa League.
The victory means that United are ready for promotion to the playoffs.
United manager Erik ten Hag left the Portuguese star forward out of the squad for the team’s Premier League meeting with Chelsea at the weekend and it was only on Monday that Ronaldo was allowed to return to training with the A team. This after he refused to come on as a substitute and went into the dressing room during the match against Tottenham last week.
Victor Nilsson Lindelöf played the whole match for United, while Anthony Elanga got to watch the match from the substitutes’ bench again.
