Ronaldo overtakes a United legend on the goals table

The Portuguese club legend latched onto a cross from his compatriot Bruno Fernandes and, after an initial shot was saved by the goalkeeper, he calmly prodded home into the bottom corner - as you can see in the highlights.

It was Cristiano’s fourth goal since completing a sensational transfer back to United in August: he had previously scored twice on his return against Newcastle and again versus Young Boys.

CR7 now has 122 goals as a Red and that is one more than Andy Cole, the much-loved Treble winner whom he has overtaken into 17th place on the club’s illustrious goals chart.
