Cristiano Ronaldo Finally Defeats COVID-19 After 19 Days
Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo is now football’s all-time top goalscorer.

At 36 years, CR7 aka Cristiano Ronaldo Is the Highest Goalscorer in Football History. Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo is now football’s all-time top goalscorer.

Here is how ManUtd.com heaped praises on Ronaldo’s new milestone.

  • United’s former no. 7 has now scored more goals than anyone else in football history.
  • Ronaldo’s winner for Juventus in the Supercoppa Italiana final victory over Napoli on Wednesday night was the 760th goal of his incredible career.
  • The Portuguese superstar achieved the world record in his 1,038th career appearance, beating a statistic that has stood for 66 years.
  • Cristiano’s strike for the Italian giants in their 1-0 win meant he surpassed Czech forward Josef Bican, who scored a ridiculous 759 goals in 495 appearances between 1931-1955.

The late Bican who passed away in 2001, plied his trade in Austria and the former Czechoslovakia.

Further down the incredible list we find Brazilian legends Pele and Romario, on 757 and 743 goals respectively. Of active players, it is no surprise Lionel Messi is the one closest to Ronaldo on 719 goals.

Why Cristiano is the top Goalscorer in football history: Man United legend

Ronaldo, who played for United for six years from 2003-2009, scored 118 times in 292 appearances for the club. During his career at Old Trafford, he made the specular look mundane – everything from spectacular free-kicks and long-range screamers, to elegant back-heel flicks and tap-ins.

After settling to life in Manchester, the tricky winger developed into more of an all-round attacker as the season’s passed. In the 2006/07, the Portuguese’s 17 Premier League goals and 15 assists won him the Premier League Player of the Season and FWA Footballer of the Year awards as we clinched our 16th top flight title.

In the 2007/08 campaign, when we won both the Premier League and Champions League, Ronaldo demonstrated what a goalscoring machine we was. The former Sporting Lisbon player netted an incredible 42 times over the course of the campaign, with 31 goals coming in the Premier League. No wonder he maintained his individual awards from the previous season as well as winning his first Ballon d’Or in 2008.

In his final term at the Theatre of Dreams in 2008/09, he netted 26 times for the Reds before moving to Real Madrid for a then world-record transfer fee. After that, “Cristiano Ronaldo Is the Highest Goalscorer in Football History” then became a reality at Juventus.

After his arrival at the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer of 2009, Ronaldo smashed all goalscoring records for Los Blancos. In 438 appearances, he bagged an outstanding 450 goals, meaning he averaged over a goal per game in Spain.

The attacker, who turns 36 in February, is still maintaining those amazing standards in Italy. For the Old Lady, Ronaldo has scored 85 times in 109 appearances following his move in 2018.

He’s not too bad at international level either. Since his Portugal debut in August 2003, the world-record holder has scored 102 times in 170 appearances for his nation, who he captained to triumph in Euro 2016.

Gareth Southgate to Manchester United Doesnt’ Make Sense

Published

on

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job

Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time

The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best

The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss

Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.

ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.

People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.

Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.

Liverpool blame themselves for FA Cup loss to Man United

Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.

SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.

How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?

More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.

Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.

It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.

Ten Hag Says Man United Are on Track

Published

Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!

Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.

The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy

Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.

Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.

I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.

 

Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.

This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons

The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.

From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
