The Portugal international made his Premier League debut, but his boss warned him that he must be careful with his exertion.
Cristiano Ronaldo will not play every game for Manchester United this season, according to manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who wants to reduce the forward's minutes.
Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo started well against Newcastle in his second appearance for the club, indicating that Solskjaer may find it difficult to leave him out of his starting eleven.
The Norwegian, though, maintained that Ronaldo will miss certain games in order to keep the 36-year-old fresh.
What was stated exactly?
After scoring twice at Old Trafford on Saturday, Solskjaer was asked whether leaving Ronaldo out was a possibility.
According to United's head coach, the thing about Cristiano is that he looks after himself so well, so I know he'll recover quickly, plus he's had a pre-season.
There is, of course, a Champions League game against Young Boys at Old Trafford on Tuesday night. We'll see how the game goes. But, no, excluding him is not impossible. Cristiano Ronaldo is 36 years old, but Mason Greenwood is just 19, so it's the same; I have to manage his minutes as well as the minutes of a 36-year-old.”
Ronaldo makes a strong first impression.
The Portugal international has just been back at the club's Carrington training complex for a week, but his presence has already encouraged certain United players to perform better.
According to Man United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the more high-quality and skilled players you add to a club, the more healthy competition and leaders they look up to.
I believe that signing two great players such as Raphael from Real Madrid and Cristiano from Juventus raised everyone's eyebrows because they are winners, they have won everything there is to win, and they place expectations on themselves that the young lads, the rest of the squad, look at and think: 'That's how you stay at the top.'
As a result, it can only benefit everyone, and there is competition for places, which is great to see.
What's next for Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United?
On Monday, the squad will fly to Switzerland for their first Champions League encounter of the season. On Tuesday night, they play Young Boys in their first Group F match.
If Ronaldo plays, he would equal Iker Casillas' all-time Champions League appearance record of 177.
