You have got to be kidding.

Cristiano Ronaldo in the 95th minute.

Mayhem at Old Trafford.

Shirt off.
Solskjaer's pumping fists. Fergie's smiling.

Fred cross from left-back, Lingard touch at centre-forward.

Doesn't make much sense but fitting after that mad game.#MUFC

Cristiano Ronaldo’s first five games back with Manchester United have been an incredible success. But nothing compares to the game winner at the tail end of stoppage time.

Ronaldo and Manchester United will now hope to build some momentum after fending off what was very nearly an embarrassing let down at home.

At 36-years-old, Cristiano Ronaldo is proving that he’s still one of the very best players in the world.
