Paul Merson makes prediction on Manchester United v Newcastle

Paul Merson expects Cristiano Ronaldo to score in his return to the Premier League as he makes Premier League prediction on Manchester United vs Newcastle. The two sides are set to face each other on Saturday, with the Portuguese star possibly making his debut for the Red Devils after securing a move to Old Trafford. "I’d expect Cristiano Ronaldo to score in his return to the Premier League. I have all these keyboard warriors having a go at me at the moment – I never said he isn’t going to score goals," pundit said. "The Newcastle game is a great way to get Ronaldo started at the club. Newcastle are going to sit back and absorb pressure and Manchester United will be able to put balls into the box for Cristiano Ronaldo. It’s going to be one-way traffic for most of the game, and I’d expect Ronaldo to score against Newcastle." "Ronaldo isn’t the player he once was, but if I was a Manchester United fan, I’d actually be worried if he doesn’t score against Newcastle on Saturday." "It will be quite interesting to watch Manchester United adapt to having Ronaldo in their ranks. United should be able to blow Newcastle away this weekend. I hope Ronaldo scores a hat-trick on Saturday – it won’t be easy, but I wouldn’t put it past him." Merson backs Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side to beat The Magpies with a score of 3 - 0.
