This has been a truly redemption song of recently proscribed Cristiano Ronaldo! The Portuguese maverick has returned to the Manchester United squad and sealed it with a goal against Sheriff Tiraspol in a 3-0 landslide victory in the penultimate round of the UEL group stage.The Red Devils booked their spot in the next round some time ago, but this victory serves as a beautiful recovery in terms of the team’s morale.Erik ten Hag gave his outcast a second chance, and one of the best ever delivered a high-quality game to push his side to a much-deserved victory against the Eastern European minnows.It was not him, though, to open the scoring, as Diogo Dalot was the first to find the back of the net after a corner from the left near the half-time break. It eased off the pressure from Ten Hag’s slot, and it proved crucial in the second period as the Red Devils started firing from every possible position.Rashford doubled the lead and killed the game with a narrow header before CR7 stepped up in every sense of the word. Firstly he missed a sitter and then scored, but his goal was rightfully disallowed due to an offside.However, it was a third-time charm for the veteran as he nailed it inside the six-yard box for the thrill at packed Old Trafford. The sheriff is back!EUROPA LEAGUEGroup stage – Round 5ThursdayAEK Larnaca – Dynamo Kyiv 3-3 (1-1)/Altman 26, 72, Lopes 53 – Vanat 45, Garmash 82, 90+1/Union Berlin – Braga 1-0 (0-0)/Knoche 68(p)/Malmo – St.Gilloise 0-2 (0-2)/Teuma 10, Amani 42/Fenerbahce – Rennes 3-3 (1-3)/Valencia 42, Zajc 82, Mor 88 – Gouiri 5, 30, Terrier 16/Ludogorets – Betis 0-1 (0-0)/Fekir 56/Zurich – Bodo 2-1 (0-1)/Borijanijasevic 67, Marchesano 90+4 – Pellegrino 45/Lazio – Midtjylland 2-1 (1-1)/Milinkovic-Savic 36, Pedro 58 – Isaksen 8/PSV – Arsenal 2-1 (0-0)/Veerman 55, De Jong 63/Helsinki – Roma 1-2 (0-1)/Hetemaj 54 – Abraham 41, Hoskonen 62/Omonia – Real Sociedad 0-2 (0-1)/Navarro 45+2, Mendez 60/Sturm – Feyenoord 1-0 (0-0)/Kiteishvili 90+3/Freiburg – Olympiakos 1-1 (0-1)/Kubler 90+3 – El Arabi 17/Nantes – Qarabag 2-1 (1-0)/Blas 16, Ganago 90+4 – Ozobic 56 pen/Crvena Zvezda – Trabzon 2-1Man Utd – Sheriff 3-0 (1-0)/Dalot 44, Rashford 65, Cristiano 81/Ferencvaros – Monaco 1-1 (0-1)/Zachariassen 81 – Ben Yedder 31/
