Last term’s top scorer started pre-season late and has been eased into action by Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, before starting the last two fixtures. The Portuguese was unlucky when his header was chalked off against Real Sociedad due to an offside call, but he was a man on a mission in Moldova.
The local fans were certainly thrilled to see our no.7 play in their city and many joined in with his famous ‘Siiuu’ celebration after he emphatically slammed in a penalty, awarded for a foul on his Portugal team-mate Diogo Dalot.
After representing his country in the UEFA Nations League, it is the Manchester derby that's next up on Ronaldo's schedule and Ten Hag believes the goals will continue to flow again soon for the world’s leading marksman.
