Here are your Manchester United morning headlines for Wednesday, November 3.
Ronaldo's reaction is the mentality United need
It was yet another phenomenal performance from Cristiano Ronaldo as United drew 2-2 with Atalanta in Italy on Tuesday night.
Two Ronaldo goals, his first on the stroke of half-time and his second in the dying minutes, secured a hard-earned point for United.
And his reaction to Atalanta fans at the final whistle showed exactly the mentality Manchester United players need, Manchester Evening News' Chief Manchester United writer Samuel Luckhurst writes.
New formation 'suits Ronaldo'
Manchester United legend Gary Neville says Cristiano Ronaldo 'looked like a little boy’ in manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's previously preferred 4-2-3-1 formation.
The United boss has been under pressure in recent weeks following a downturn in the club's form but responded by switching to a 3-5-2 formation for the 3-0 Premier League win against Tottenham, earning in the process just their second clean sheet in 22 games.
And following the success, the new system remained in place for the Champions League tie against Atalanta on Tuesday night, until Raphael Varane's injury saw Solskjaer forced into switching to a four-man defence.
Neville believes the formation change was 'not Ole's plan' but made to get the best out of Ronaldo, telling Sky Sports: "Leaving Sancho, Rashford and [Mason] Greenwood on the bench is not the plan."
Rio Ferdinand speechless
Rio Ferdinand was left lost for words after Cristiano Ronaldo save Manchester United once again with a stunning volley in second-half stoppage time to earn a 2-2 draw with Atalanta.
Mason Greenwood teed up the 36-year-old to fire home another brilliant first-time volley- just as he did against Spurs on Saturday.
The former Manchester United defender could only describe what he saw from Ronaldo as "mind-boggling" after the late equaliser.
Ferdinand said: "It's just mind-boggling. There aren't any words, anymore, we can say about this guy that to justify the way that he puts the ball in the back of the net and just arrives on the big occasion and delivers."
