So dire the situation is that the veteran forward was an unused substitute during Man United's Premier League clash with rivals Man City at the Etihad Stadium.

However, many had hoped he would redeem himself after he was named in the starting XI that played Omnia in the Europa League on Thursday night.

Unfortunately, the Portuguese star could not find the back of the net as he struggled to make an impact.

His best chance to score in the match was when he rattled the post to miss a glorious chance to hit the 700-goal mark.

Fans concerned with Ronaldo's poor form

Ronaldo's failure to score against the Cypriot side sparked reactions online, with fans expressing concern about the forward's lack of form.

Many went on to suggest that the 37-year-old has largely been unlucky this season, and it is why he is yet to hit top form.
