Paragraph about Cristiano Ronaldo

Ronaldo’s abilities were so obvious at a young age that he was signed by Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese first division at the age of thirteen. He made his first team appearance for Sporting at the age of 17, and Manchester United bought him for $20 million the following summer, outbidding half a dozen European clubs. Ronaldo made an immediate impact after returning from injury, scoring in the 12th minute from 25 yards (meters) in front of retired NFL great Tom Brady at Old Trafford, according to the Associated Press. Although Harry Kane equalized from a penalty after Alex Telles handled Dejan Kulusevski’s cross in the 35th minute, United took the lead three minutes later. When United captain Harry Maguire diverted Sergio Regulon’s cross into his path, Tottenham was awarded an equalizer. However, in the 81st minute, Ronaldo jinked away from Cristian Romero and leaped above Matt Doherty to meet a corner from Telles with a thunderous header in front of the Stratford End, securing the win. Ronaldo is in his first season at United since returning from Real Madrid, and this was his first hat trick since January 2008.United is now in fourth place in the Champions League, while Tottenham is in seventh place, five points behind United.
