Being a perfectionist, birthday boy Cristiano Ronaldo may know that failure to score against Burnley on Tuesday would represent his longest barren spell in club football for more than a decade.
Ronaldo, who turned 37 on Saturday, hasn’t scored in United’s last four matches and missed a penalty in their FA Cup exit against Middlesbrough on Friday night.
Most strikers would accept five blanks in a row as an occupational hazard but it’s ancient history for this multiple Ballon d’Or winner.
The last time Ronaldo went five club games without a goal was back in 2010 at Real Madrid.
