Jesse Lingard backed Cristiano Ronaldo to have a tremendous impact at Manchester United after the England attacking midfielder marked the star's return by copying his goal celebration.

Shockwaves were sent around the footballing world when the Old Trafford giants swooped to bring the 36-year-old back to the club on a two-year deal with the option of a further season.

Ronaldo is expected to make his second United debut against Newcastle following an international break in which the forward became the top scoring male international player of all-time.

Lingard ended up with a brace in the 4-0 triumph against Andorra – his first international goals since November 2018.

"It's always a great feeling scoring for your country," said the 28-year-old, who was cut from England's provisional squad ahead of the summer's European Championship.

"They're the moments that you don't forget and of course the team helped me today with that.

Sunday's match was the Three Lions' first at Wembley since the agonising Euro 2020 final penalty shoot-out loss to Italy and saw Bukayo Saka enjoy a day to remember.

The winger was among those to score spot-kicks against Italy but was given a huge reception against Andorra and wrapped up the scoring on his 20th birthday having provided the assist for both of Lingard's goals.

"Bukayo's a top lad," Lingard said. "Off the field he is brilliant.

"On the field he is even better and to score on his birthday is a huge moment for him."
