The Italian club was moments away from taking all three points against the Red Devils after Duvan Zapata's second-half strike appeared enough for Gasperini's side.
Ronaldo, however, had other plans as he secured a draw for the English giants with an excellently struck volley from the edge of the box, a goal that earned him a brace and his team a point.
Following the final whistle, Atalanta's manager was seen engaging with the 36-year-old forward, whom he went up against in Serie A on a number of occasions during Ronaldo's three-year spell at Juventus.
Speaking in a post-match press conference, Gasperini revealed that he had jokingly told the ex-Bianconeri forward to "go to hell" after his late heroics for United.
"At the end of the match, I spoke with Ronaldo," the 63-year-old said, according to the Express.
"He's an incredible player, some even call him a problem. That's a nice problem to have. Nine out of 10 times his shots on target, five of them are goals.
