Ronaldo has scored six goals in nine appearances in all competitions since joining United for the second time, arriving from Juventus at the end of the recent transfer window.

However, United’s overall form has suffered in recent weeks, the Red Devils winning just three and losing five of their past nine games.

Last Sunday’s humiliating 5-0 home defeat to Liverpool in the Premier League means Ole Gunnar Solskjaer heads into the next match against Tottenham knowing another loss could spell the end of his time in charge.
