Christiano Ronaldo has finally gotten his first goal for Manchester United this new season, as the celebrated player was on target, scoring a penalty in the first half to solidify United’s lead.
After Manchester United’s defeat against Real Sociedad last week, Ten Hag made five changes to his side. Varane and MartÃnez replace Maguire and Lindelof in the middle of the United defense, with McTominay coming in for Casemiro in midfield. Fred and Elanga also make way for Sancho and Fernandes with Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Donny van de Beek, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka all out of the squad.
FC Sheriff Tiraspol also made seven changes to the team that beat Milsami in their previous match. Keston Julien, Steve Ambri, Guedes, Heron, Darankoum, Mudasiru, and Pernambuco are replaced by Radeljic, Kpozo, Zohouri, Kyabou, Diop, Ouattara, and Atiemwen.
Manchester United got their first goal in the 17th minute when Eriksen played the ball to the winger on the edge of the box, who switched the ball onto his left foot and drove it into the bottom right corner. Ronald missed some chances to convert, playing the ball over the bar.
In the 39th minute, Ronaldo scored a penalty for Manchester United, his first of the season, after Kpozo tripped Dalot in the penalty area. FC Sheriff had multiple chances to pull one back for the home team but could not convert any goal. At the end of the match, the Premier League giants won by two goals to nil, with Jadon Sancho and Christiano Ronaldo on target.
