Here's your Manchester United morning digest on Saturday, September 11.
Cristiano Ronaldo (second) debut day
The day has finally arrived.
Cristiano Ronaldo will make his second debut today against Newcastle United following his summer transfer from Juventus.
Speaking in his pre-match conference, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed that the 36-year-old will feature at Old Trafford at some point.
With the game being a 3pm kick-off, only fans in attendance will be able to see the game live.

Fred's ban lifted
Another player who could feature when it looked highly unlikely that he would is Fred.
The Brazilian midfielder was banned for Saturday’s game after being refused permission by United to join up with his national side during the last international break.
Brazil then asked FIFA to enforce a five-day ban rule which not only ruled Fred out of the Toon tie but also the Champions League opener against Young Boys on Tuesday night.
But an agreement was made late Friday night between the Brazilian Football Federation, Premier League and FIFA to waive the ban.

The Glazers sell shares
United’s owners have sold over five million class A shares to a Chicago-based investment company.
The sale to Ariel Investments sees The Glazers cash in on shares worth $100million (£73m).
The fractured relationship between The Glazers and United fans hit an all-time low at the end of last season when the club were named as one of 12 sides looking to leave their domestic league and form a European Super League.
Protests saw that proposal binned days later.
