Portuguese football player Cristiano Ronaldo has now gone six consecutive games – five in the Premier League – without scoring as Man Utd failed to win again.
A little about Cristiano Ronaldo
37 year old player is now on his longest goal drought in over a decade as the Manchester United star failed to find the back of the net once again on Saturday. Cristiano Ronaldo has been one of the most prolific goalscorers in the history of the sport, establishing himself amongst the most dominant players of all time. But Portuguese has struggled in recent weeks for Man Utd and, having been unable to score again in a 1-1 draw with Southampton, he has now been without a goal in six games, five of which have been in the Premier League.
Cristiano Ronaldo last goal came back on December 30, when he netted in a 3-1 win over Burnley. He’s failed to score in his six appearances since, including Man Utd’s FA Cup elimination at the hands of Middlesbrough. And Cristiano Ronaldo, who has scored 688 goals at club level throughout his illustrious career, hasn’t gone six games without scoring since all the way back in 2009. That run came during the final months of his first stint at Old Trafford as he would depart for Real Madrid soon after, establishing himself as one of the best players in the history of the sport during his time in Spain.
