Cristiano Ronaldo Overtakes Club Legend on Manchester United’s All-Time Scorer’s Chart

• Cristiano Ronaldo has scored four goals upon return to Manchester United and now he has moved up the club’s top scorer’s chart
• The Portuguese sensation grabbed a brace against Newcastle United and one goal each vs Young Boys and then West Ham
• He has now scored a total of 122 goals at the club, overtaking club legend Andy Cole who scored 121 times for the Red Devils

Following his goal against West Ham United last weekend, Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo has moved up one position in Manchester United’s all-time scorer’s chart, SunSport reports.

The 36-year-old scored from close range after his initial shot was spilled by the goalkeeper before he easily tucked home.

It was his fourth goal since he returned to the Old Trafford club after completing a blockbuster transfer back to Manchester United where he had scored 118 goals before he left to join Real Madrid.

Upon his return, Ronaldo scored twice against Newcastle and again versus Young Boys.

Manchester United wrote on their official website:

“CR7 now has 122 goals as a Red and that is one more than Andy Cole, the much-loved Treble winner whom he has overtaken into 17th place on the club’s illustrious goals chart. As you would expect, he isn't finished there.

“Ronaldo’s former team-mate and current manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is ranked 16th on the all-time goals chart with 126 strikes to his name.”
