Ronaldo’s record-breaking night proves new Man Utd boss Rangnick can rely on him.. CR7 scored is 800th career Goal as Manutd battled Arsenal yesterday..
Cristiano Ronaldo surpassed 800 goals for club and country with a double as Manchester United beat Arsenal 3-2.
If Cristiano Ronaldo felt the need to send a message to his new manager – after all the talk that he would not fit into his setup – then scoring twice to secure Manchester United three points against Arsenal is one way to do it.
Ralf Rangnick was in the stands to watch his new team and while he will have seen plenty of problems that need rectifying, Ronaldo would not appear to be among them.
Whether he presses enough or not, he still should be considered for the starting XI every week.
As he made his run into the box in the 52nd minute, the Arsenal players knew what was coming. A low Marcus Rashford cross came into the box and Ronaldo was there to finish it.
He has also now taken over penalty duties from Bruno Fernandes and dispatched what proved to be the winning goal from the spot after Martin Odegaard fouled Fred.
It is that inevitability, almost a guarantee of goals, that has led to managers tailoring their teams around the 36-year-old.
Ronaldo has an aura around him; just ask the fan who ran onto the pitch with 86 minutes on the clock in an attempt to get a selfie with him.
Rangnick won’t be sure of many things on his first day in the job but he knows one thing for certain: he’ll be able to rely on Ronaldo..
Congratulations to CR7 on surpassing 800 career Goals
