Ranking Cristiano Ronaldo’s four goal of the season winners at Man Utd

During his two spells at Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored more than his fair share of sensational goals. 

Ronaldo has scored over 140 goals across seven seasons at United and has won the club’s Goal of the Season award on four separate occasions.

We’ve ranked the four goals from worst to best, but each one of them truly showcases Ronaldo’s incredible quality and audacity to shoot from such a long way out.

4. Tottenham, 2021-22

After leaving United for Real Madrid in 2009, Ronaldo spent nine years in Spain and three years at Juventus before returning to Old Trafford.

Despite being 37 years old at the time, he still managed to score 24 goals in all competitions in 2021-22 and the pick of the bunch was his first goal against Tottenham in March 2022.

The striker received the ball around 30 yards out following a neat flick from Fred and set himself up before powering a ferocious long-range strike past Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. 

Ronaldo scored another two goals in the game to bag a hat-trick, his first since returning to the club and the 60th in his career.

“I think [Ronaldo] was at his best, very aggressive in the box,” Lloris said after the game. “It’s difficult to control him, but when you concede set pieces you need to look for that. The second goal is from a cross and we could have defended it a bit better.

“For the first goal, when you give him a little bit of space he can do what he did.”

3. Portsmouth, 2005-06

The first of two Goal of the Season winners against Portsmouth, a young Ronaldo showed that his weaker foot was still better than most players’ stronger foot.

Picking up the ball about 25 yards from goal, he took two touches and shifted the ball onto his left foot before unleashing a firecracker which flew into the back of the net.

Portsmouth goalkeeper Dean Kiely barely moved as he was beaten by the sheer speed and swerve of Ronaldo’s strike.

The Fratton Park crowd were stunned into a mixture of boos and silence while Ronaldo wheeled away in celebration, as his goal made it 2-0 to United.

Ronaldo would then add a third less than 10 minutes later en route to a 3-1 away victory.
