“I’ve been extremely happy with my first hat-trick since I got back to Old Trafford. Nothing beats the feeling of being back on the field and helping the team with goals and effort. Once again, we have proven that we can beat any team on any given day, as long as we work hard and stand together as one. There are no limits for Man United, “ he wrote Ronaldo on the social network after his gala performance, which moved the “devils” to the fourth place in the Premier League table. However, they have only a two-point lead over Arsenal, who has up to four matches.
Thirty-seven-year-old Ronaldo has scored a single goal in the past ten duels for United. However, against the Spurs, it eventually exploded and silenced critics, according to whom it is not beneficial for the club in its current form. Last week, he also controversially traveled to Portugal for three days to recover minor injuries and did not even see the team’s “dismantling” in the city derby on the City pitch (1: 4).
On Saturday, however, he returned to the team in style – in the 12th minute he opened the score with an export long-range shot to the upper corner of the goal, before the break he returned the home lead with a close goal of 2: 1 after a quick counterattack and pass by Jadon Sanch and in the 81st minute , when after the corner kick he jumped the highest and with a sharp head from nine meters to the pole he adjusted to the final 3: 2.

“It was his best performance today, at least since I came here. Not only because he scored three goals, but also by moving without the ball. He radiated energy, engaging in defense. Top performance from him, but also from the rest of the team, ” picked up the coach after the Portuguese gunner’s match Ralph Rangnick according to the AFP agency and stated above.
“Perhaps it would be good to send him to Portugal for three days before each match. It’s hard to work with players like him, but today he has shown that he still has the quality to play for Manchester United. He is part of a team and if we want to be successful, we have to do it together. “
According to official FIFA statistics, Ronaldo overtook the Czech Josef Josef Bican by two goals in history in the table of the best shooters in history and is at the top. He has a total of 807 goals in his career at the club and national team level – for United he scored 136 goals, for Real Madrid 450, for Juventus Turin 101, for Sporting Lisbon 5 and in the jersey of Portugal he added 115 accurate hits.
However, due to the ambiguity of the sources, the record number of goals for individual players is still under discussion.

The fifth loss from the last eight league duels represents another blow to Tottenham in the fight for the first four, he currently holds the seventh position. “I don’t think we deserved to lose today, but again we know more about where we need to improve. Cristiano Ronaldo proved to be a great player today, without him Manchester United would not have had such a nice evening. When he still has such a form, mentality and desire for victory at his age, I only have to give him one big compliment. ” announced the coach of the guests Antonio Conte.
