The highest goal scorer of the season
The Portuguese footballer is 36 years of age, still, he can destroy his opponents. His highest goal in a particular season is 31, which he did in the 2007/08 season. The record holder, in this case, is Mohamed Salah, who scored 32 goals in a single season. Ronaldo might break it while playing for the red devils.
Highest free-kick goal scorer
The whole world knows that CR7 is a master of shooting free-kicks. Out of his 118 goals for Manchester United, he netted 11 of the goals via direct free kicks. He will surely aim at David Beckham’s record, who created a tally of 18 free-kicks for a club.
Player of the season for the most number of times
Before heading towards Real Madrid, CR7 won two consecutive players of the season awards for the premier league at Old Trafford. At present, he is on a joint record holder with Arsenal’s Thierry Henry and might be a single record holder, after this season.
The highest number of goals in a season
When it comes to scoring goals, the world knows that Ronaldo itself is a goal-scoring machine. In this regard of scoring the highest number of goals in a month, Luis Suarez comes at the top with netting 10, during his years for Liverpool. Ronaldo at Old Trafford might break that record as well, being in his second tenure.
The highest number of Ballon d’Or awards, by a Premier League footballer
A player like Cristiano Ronaldo will always be a strong contender for the Ballon d’Or award. Currently, he holds the record with Michael Owen, with a single Ballon d’Or on each side. This might be a record that many of the fans will look onto, which Ronaldo might break.
