Can Ronaldo’s early-season form lead Manchester United to the Premier League title? Cristiano Ronaldo currently plays for Manchester United. He’s played a total of 7 seasons with Manchester United earlier in his career from 2003 to 2009. During his time there he got 3 Premier League titles and 1 golden boot. In the 2007/2008 season(the season in which he won the golden boot) with 34 appearances, he got a total of 31 goals with a 0.91% chance of scoring every game with a 44% shooting accuracy.

Cristiano leaving Manchester United after being there from 2003-2009 with 293 appearances, 118 goals, 3 Premier League titles, and a Champion League triumph in 2008 for Real Madrid made the fans of Old Trafford sad and always kept him as a fan favorite. His time in Real Madrid was legendary creating countless moments that shocked the world. Unfortunately, his time in Real Madrid came to an end when he went to a new team. 12 years after he left, Ronaldo returned to Manchester United signing a 2-year contract for 15 million euros($17.7 million) and potentially more with add ons. This blew fans crazy because Ronaldo was rejoining his former team at the age of 36. Lots of fans agreed that Ronaldo would do terrible because he’s 36 years old which is a time when most regress and didn’t do the best at his previous team Juventus. The Premier League is still at the beginning of the season so he has only played 4 games and has exceeded the expectation of most because he’s scored 3 goals. His goals per match are currently 0.75 with a shooting accuracy of 39%. which is respectable at his age and time.

UEFA Champions League is currently in the group stage with Ronaldo having played 2 games so far with 2 goals. The first game he played in the Champions League this year was against Young Boys which he lost 2-1. The 3rd game which was the most recent was against Villarreal, and Manchester United triumphed with a win because of Cristiano’s last-minute game-winning goal that got the crowd going. UEFA Champions League is extremely important to Manchester fans because Cristiano won a title with them previously. In the title he won with them he had the most goals scored in 11 games, 8, and won the finale against Chelsea 6:5 in a crucial moment of penalties.

The top of the current Premier League standings are as follows, Manchester United in 4th place behind Chelsea(1st), Liverpool(2nd), and Manchester City(3rd). Manchester United is on a 3 game win streak and hopes to make that 4 straight wins against Leicester City on October 20. Manchester United and City are tied on points but are ahead due to their stats being slightly better, which includes goals against and goal difference. Manchester United is hoping to beat both Leicester City and Liverpool to take either 2nd or 3rd place early on in the season and work towards becoming the champions this season with the help from Ronaldo. This is why Manchester United fans have extremely high hopes for Ronaldo and are hungry to dethrone their long-time rival and the current Premier League champions, Manchester City.
