Cristiano Ronaldo has also scored in the third competitive game after his return to Manchester United for the English football champions.

In the 2-1 (1-1) win in the away game at West Ham United, Ronaldo equalized in the 35th minute after Said Benrahma (30th) took the lead in the entertaining game.

The late winning goal for Man United came from Jesse Lingard (89th), who played on loan for West Ham last season.

In the dramatic stoppage time, the hosts were awarded a hand penalty after video evidence.

But the specially substituted Mark Noble failed with his shot at United keeper David De Gea.

Ronaldo had already contributed two goals to the 4-1 victory in the Premier League against Newcastle United on his Man United comeback a week ago.

On Tuesday, the Portuguese took the lead in the Champions League at Young Boys Bern.

However, his team was then defeated 1: 2 by the Swiss.
