Cristiano Ronaldo’s 100th Manchester United goal
set United on their way to an emphatic home win over Stoke.
The Portuguese winger smashed home a trademark free-kick from 25 yards
before turning provider for Michael Carrick to fire in United’s second.
Dimitar Berbatov volleyed home to extend the lead
before 17-year-old Danny Welbeck marked his Premier League debut with a stunning strike.
Ronaldo sealed the win with his second, another expertly taken free-kick.
The three points were a fitting reward for manager Sir Alex Ferguson,
who was celebrating 50 years in football
after making his playing debut as a 16-year-old during
Queens Park’s 2-1 defeat at Stranraer on 15 November 1958.
