It's just 701 club goals for Ronaldo now...
Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 701st club goal in Man Utd’s 3-0 win over FC Sheriff but Antony was the one who stole the headlines on Thursday night.
This victory sets up a key clash in Spain next Thursday, when United will attempt to usurp current pool leaders Real Sociedad in a Group E showdown.fail in that quest, they will have to play in a knockout round play-off against one of the third-ranked teams from the Champions League group phase. The frontman powered a header over and Bruno Fernandes bent wide from 20 yards as the onslaught continued, with Ronaldo’s attempt to meet the stand-in skipper’s cushioned header then thwarted by Maxym Koval.
It would have been a huge moment in Sheriff’s history, never mind the game, and appeared to spark United into life. The 37-year-old stood with hands on hips in disbelief as ‘Viva Ronaldo’ began to echo around Old Trafford.
