The Portuguese star became the first-ever footballer to score 800 goals in his career for both clubs and country.<br \/>\nArsenal, to their credit, didn\u2019t give up the fight, scored again and demanded another intervention from CR7 who didn\u2019t disappoint the fans and scored a winner and his number 801 from the penalty spot in the 70th minute to seal a 3-2 victory for the Red Devils.<br \/>\nThe 5 times Ballon D\u2019or winner has scored 130 goals across two spells for United, adding 5 for Sporting Lisbon, 450 for Real Madrid, 101 for Juventus and 115 for Portugal.<br \/>\nRonaldo, this season has rescued his side for numerous occasions now and is keen to offer more, whenever or wherever needed; is what he continues to prove on his return to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Our minds are already set on the next game, there\u2019s no time to celebrate!

The fans are saying that Ronaldo\u2019s style of play might not suit the approach favoured by the incoming German interim manager who most probably likes the pressing style and young players.
