There has been evidence of him pressing in wide positions – but his famed cutting edge in the penalty box has evaded him, perhaps because he is no longer preserving his energy for those decisive moments.

"I can say that it is a combination of football and human values." Ronaldo's antics prove the circus that follows the superstar around. Ten Hag was forced to confront the issue in his post-match press conference. Ronaldo's selfish tendencies have been mostly justified by his match-winning displays on the biggest of occasions throughout an astonishing career. United have now beaten Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs at home, all teams for whom they will be competing for a Champions League qualification spot.

It was a really weak shot from outside the box.” He would make every defence a nervous wreck." It was not a great shot, not massive power.
