Portuguese Striker Ronaldo Moves Up in Man United’s All-Time Goals Chart After Goal vs Burnley

• Cristiano Ronaldo is now the fourteenth on the Manchester United’s all-time scorer’s chart, overtaking Tommy Taylor
• The club’s returnee has scored an impressive 14 goals in 21 appearances in all competitions for United this season
• He will need another 15 goals to displace David Herd who is in thirteenth position with 145 goals, as Wayne Rooney remains the all-time scorer with 253

Portuguese sensation Cristiano Ronaldo found the back of the net in Manchester United’s 3-1 win over Burnley in the Premier League on Thursday night, Complete Sports reports.

The 36-year-old tapped into the net for the Red Devils’ third goal of the encounter after goalkeeper parried Scott McTominay’s effort onto his path.

His penalty against Norwich earlier in December saw him on the same level with legendary Tommy Taylor who netted 131 goals for the Old Trafford outfit before he retired.

And following his goal against Burnley, Ronaldo moves ahead of Taylor, whose haul would, of course, have been even greater had he not lost his life in the 1958 Munich Air Disaster.
