After helping Manchester United to their first win of the season in the Europa League with a 2-0 victory over Sheriff Tiraspol in Moldova on Thursday evening, Cristiano Ronaldo expressed his happiness at getting back among the goals. Ronaldo's goal helped Manchester United to their first win of the season in the Europa League.
After Jadon Sancho opened the scoring with less than 20 minutes remaining on the clock, Ronaldo scored his first goal of the season shortly before halftime by converting an effort from the penalty spot. This was Ronaldo's first goal since the beginning of last season. This ensured that United would enter the halftime break in a commanding position of control.
After halftime, United continued to exert their dominance over the game, but they did so without posing a significant threat to the Sheriff goal. They had a lot of possession of the ball, but they didn't have many good scoring opportunities.
Despite this, United played in a manner that was both professional and measured away from home, which allowed them to secure their first victory of their Group E campaign with a minimum of bother. And it was a good night of work for Ronaldo, who was able to keep his starting spot despite Marcus Rashford being sidelined with an injury.
Ronaldo wrote on his Instagram page, "Happy to score and help the team win," after the team's victory. "There are three essential points here! Well done, lads."
