Ronaldo has been struggling in front of goal this season, missing many opportunities.
Despite playing well in many games, the 37-year-old has nothing to show for it in the end.
After replacing Anthony Martial in the first half, Ronaldo turned back the years with a fantastic performance.
He was good on and off the ball and pressed when necessary. Ronaldo’s link game was perfect, allowing Marcus Rashford and Antony to make runs on the outside.
His performance was crowned by a sensational goal that made him reach 700.
The Portuguese was in his element tonight, urging his teammates to press on throughout the match.
Martial’s potential injury could mean more playing time for Ronaldo in the coming matches.
United fans will be hoping to see the five-time Ballon d’Or winner return to his goalscoring prime.
