Usain Bolt and Sir Alex Ferguson erupted in joy as Cristiano Ronaldo scored a late goal in Manchester United vs Villareal
Defeated 1-0 in their bygone Premier League encounter, Manchester United made a foray into their Champions League with Villareal looking to arrest a run of two defeats on the bounce. The tie came at a crucial side for the club and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who found himself under immense pressure to justify his staggering 450 million pound spending spree since taking over the reigns at the club.
Unfortunately for him, things were dismal once again as his tactics failed to deliver for his side. Villareal made the most of a dreary Manchester United with the La Liga side taking the lead on the night before Alex Telles managed to restore parity in the second half.

The clash looked headed towards a draw with neither side managing to break the deadlock from there on as the match approached its culminating stages. It was then that Cristiano Ronaldo decided he had seen enough as the Portuguese linked up with Jesse Lingard before hammering home the ball to seal a late and unlikely 2-1 win for his side.
Old Trafford erupted in jubilant as the crowd favourite delivered yet again, scoring his second Champions League goal in as many matches this season. And it weren’t only the spectators who were seen rejoicing in the strike but Sir Alex Ferguson and eight time Olympic medalist, Usain Bolt as well with the two captured celebrating Ronaldo’s strike with everything they had.
