Cristiano Ronaldo has needed just two games to match the Premier League goal returns of flops Angel Di Maria and Alexis Sanchez when they wore the Man United No 7 shirt... and 36-year-old star has already eclipsed Memphis Depay's tally!

Cristiano Ronaldo has already matched the Premier League goal returns of both Alexis Sanchez and Angel Di Maria as Manchester United players after just two games.

The Portuguese star, 36, scored twice on his first game back for the club against Newcastle United at Old Trafford last weekend.

And he followed that up with a tap-in to equalise in Sunday's 2-1 win over West Ham for a third league goal since his return.

Angel Di Maria managed only three league goals in his single season with Manchester United

Alexis Sanchez scored only three times in the Premier League when he was a United player

In so doing, Ronaldo has already equalled the Premier League goal tallies of two of the biggest disappointments to pull on a United shirt in recent times.
