It was Ronaldo's first Europa League goal of his career and his first goal this season.

Ronaldo spent much of the summer pushing for a move away from Old Trafford.

However, Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag affirmed that the 37-year-old will be in full speed in 2022-23.

His next goal will be his 700th – the latest in Ronaldo’s fascinating line of records.

Last season’s two-goal haul against Arsenal in the Premier League saw him pass the 800-mark in total.

A 5-time FIFA player of the year, Ronaldo surpassed $1 billion in career earnings in 2020.
