David De Gea denied Cristiano Ronaldo a sensational goal on his return to Old Trafford, with the Spaniard producing a typically incredible save.

The former United No.7 started off a glorious team move by combining with Miralem Pjanic before being picked out by Juan Cuadrado on the edge of the box.

Ronaldo hit a venomous first-time strike that looked destined for the top bins, but De Gea, the man he scored a hat-trick past in the World Cup, tipped it over the bar in stunning fashion.



It would have been some goal from Juventus. The liquid build-up and then the absolute thunderbolt frm Ronaldo, but De Gea did what he does best and kept Ronaldo's effort out - producing a 'Save of the Season' contender nad stopping Juventus from extending their lead in the game.

Ronaldo, despite not getting on the scoresheet, was brilliant back playing at Old Trafford but did have to contend with an early pitch invader desperate to get a piece of him.

Even with a steward slipping, he was dealt with by security - having been pinned down on the edge of the penalty box while United were lining up to take a free-kick around four minutes.

However, he did just about succeed in his quest to be in Ronaldo's presence, crawling and stretching his arm out before eventually getting a high-five off the footballing phenomenon before being carried away.
