Yesterday, as Manchester United and Newcastle United drew 0-0 at Old Trafford, Cristiano Ronaldo made his second Premier League start under Erik Ten Hag. Prior to kickoff, the Portugal international received a special memento from his former manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, in recognition of scoring 700 club goals.
Recall that two Sundays ago, when United overcame Everton 2-1 at Goodison Park, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner came on as a substitute and scored his 700th club goal.
The 37-year-old took to his social media account earlier today to express his reaction after adding yet another award to his trophy case. He said this to Sir Alex Ferguson.
“Always be good to your Boss”

During Ronaldo’s first stint at Old Trafford (2003–2009), Sir Alex Ferguson and he played together for six seasons. Ronaldo, who was 18 years old when he transferred from Sporting CP to Old Trafford at the time, matured under the Scot to become one of the world’s top footballers.
The two are known to get along well, and Sir Alex Ferguson was the ideal choice to present the Portuguese with his most recent honor.
Recall that the manager of Manchester City, Pep Guardiola, thinks that Liverpool will continue to pose the greatest threat to his team’s championship defense in the Premier League.
