GettyMcNeill, 20, appeared for Manchester United in the Europa League clash against Real Sociedad.
The LaLiga outfit won the match 1-0 and McNeill did not make another appearance in the first team.
The sole outing was a “dream” come true for the striker.
He told the BBC: “Fortunately, I got to make my debut, and I was upfront with him [Ronaldo], and it was surreal.
“So that was another dream come true.
“I didn’t really expect to come on we were losing 1-0 so I thought he would put somebody else on.
“But he put me on and I was just buzzing, in front of 75,000, a dream come true again.”
McNeill had loan spells at Newport County and Stevenage until he was recalled in January.
