Unfortunately, Manchester United’s clash with Newcastle United is not being televised in the UK due to the 3pm blackout rules.

That means that most fans will be unable to watch Ronaldo’s hotly-anticipated second debut as it happens, unless they have tickets for the match itself.

How else can I follow Manchester United vs Newcastle United?

The game may not be on TV, but supporters can follow all the action on BBC Radio 5 Live.

Coverage is also available to listen to online and via the BBC Sounds App.
