Cristiano Ronaldo: Fans Rave as Man United Star Becomes First Player to Hit the 700 Goal Mark

• Cristiano Ronaldo once again proved on Sunday night that he is one of the greatest goalscorers of all time when he scored his 700th club goal
• The 37-year-old achieved the landmark in the 44th minute of Man United's Premier League clash with Everton
• The goal was only his second of the season, and the first in the Premier League this term after the five-time Ballon d'Or winner enduring a slow start to the campaign

Fans have taken to social media to send Cristiano Ronaldo a congratulatory message after he finally hit the 700-goal mark.

Ronaldo has not been in good shape since the start of the new season, with his struggle for form being punctuated by a lack of game time under Erik ten Hag.

The veteran striker has only been limited to Europa League appearances, managing just one Premier League start so far.

And United's trip to Everton on Sunday, October 9, was no different as the Portuguese was forced to settle for a place on the bench, with Anthony Martial tasked with leading the attack.

However, the Frenchman had to be withdrawn moments before the break after he appeared to have picked an injury.

His place was subsequently taken by Ronaldo, with the forward making an instant impact after he found the back of the net to hand his side a 2-1 lead.

The Red Devils went a goal down inside five minutes of action after Alex Iwobi broke the deadlock before Antony restored parity for United in the 15th minute.
