Why Newcastle are perfect opponents for Cristiano Ronaldo to reignite Manchester United career

Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to make his Manchester United debut against Newcastle on Saturday. He has been on international duty with Portugal recently. Steve Bruce's Newcastle side is struggling in the Premier League. Ronaldo scored 110 goals in 111 games for Juventus. He was released early from international duties after picking up a suspension for his celebration in that victory. The former Real Madrid forward was able to arrive in England sooner than expected. Newcastle are struggling and are looking for their fourth straight league defeat. They are the perfect opponents for Ronaldo to play against.

Ronaldo scored 66 per cent of his league goals last season against teams who finished in the bottom half of the Seria A table. He scored against Barcelona in Champions League and two goals against Italian champions Inter. His best form comes when his side can produce more frequent quality attacks against lesser sides. Newcastle have faced more shots than Arsenal so far this season.
