Cristiano Ronaldo: We are Manchester United and we never give up

Giuseppe Muro21 October 2021

Cristiano Ronaldo came to the rescue for Manchester United again when he scored the winner as they came from two goals down to complete a stunning comeback against Atalanta.

Ronaldo headed the winner nine minutes from time to give United a 3-2 victory on a memorable Champions League night at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

United were 2-0 down and booed off at half-time but turned things around in the second half to complete one of their great European victories.

Marcus Rashford scored to make it 2-1 in the 53rd minute before Harry Maguire equalised with 15 minutes remaining.

Inevitably, it was Ronaldo who won the game.

In the 82nd, the 36-year-old rose highest to meet a Luke Shaw cross with a brilliant header to make it 3-2 to spark wild celebrations.

After the game, Ronaldo took to social media and wrote on Twitter: “Yes! The Theatre Of Dreams is on fire! We are alive! We are Man United and we never give up! This is Old Trafford!”
