Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes Cristiano Ronaldo is a better player than his first spell at the club.
Ronaldo won nearly every major trophy during a six-year spell at United from 2003 to 2009, including the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, and League Cup.
He made his second debut for the club against Newcastle United on Saturday, more than 12 years after leaving for Real Madrid.
Ronaldo scored twice as United defeated the Magpies 4-1 at Old Trafford in the Premier League.
"He does what he does," Solskjaer said, per Evening Standard.
"Cris lifts everyone, gets everyone so focused around the place, puts demands on himself which puts demands on team-mates and demands on us and that's why he's done so much in his career.
"He's evolved, a different type of player to when he left, but he's still a ruthless and clinical goalscorer, he scents.
"He's developed into a miles better footballer than when he was here through the years, sometimes he can drift up to the sides, you're not gonna use him as a battering ram.
"He likes to roam. He senses the big moments when to arrive in the box and I thought he played the game very very mature. He gave one ball away. But he was very efficient with his football."
