It was a much needed win for United who’re on a mission to finish in the top four as they’re eyeing the UEFA Champions League spot.

With 807 goals Ronaldo has scored in his career, FIFA has declared him as the highest scorer of all time after he passed Czech legend Josef Bican, who had held the record with 805.
Ronaldo posted a video on social media reacting to the landmark he has achieved.
“Proud to overcome one more challenge by becoming the World’s Clubs Top Goal Scorer, only six months after becoming the World’s International Top Goal Scorer,” Christiano Ronaldo wrote in the caption.

“Nothing but respect for Romário, one of the best strikers of all time!
“Thanks to all the players that I’ve come across throughout my career, thanks to all the clubs that I represented, thanks to all my fans, and above all, thanks to my wonderful family.
“I couldn’t have done it without you!” he insisted.
Ronaldo will have a colossal task to carry out on Tuesday when Man United take on Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
