Ronaldo has now scored 101 goals for United. Here we look at a few of his best.

Portsmouth. January 2008.

A sublime free-kick which even Ronaldo described at the time as the best goal of his career. Ronaldo, who had scored United's opener three minutes earlier. was always going to have a go from 30 yards out. And the Portugal winger lashed a spectacular dipping effort which flew in inches under the crossbar and left Portsmouth goalkeeper David James with no chance.

Chelsea. May 2008.

Might not be classed as one of Ronaldo's more spectacular goals but was definitely his most important as he soared to meet Wes Brown's cross and head United into the lead in the Champions League final with his 42nd goal of the campaign. He went on to miss a penalty in the shootout but the Red Devils still won 6-5.

Tottenham. March 2004.

With United clinging onto a one-goal lead in the final minute, Ronaldo skipped down the right flank before unleashing an unstoppable dipping 30-yard shot which went in off Kasey Keller's right hand post.

Europe XI. March 2007.

Ronaldo is famed for his stunning free-kicks and this one, in a match to mark United's 50th year in European competition, was up there with the best of them. He capped a stunning performance with a 35-yard shot which had so much swerve and dip that even goalkeeper Santiago Canizares could only stop and stare in amazement as it flew into the back of the net.

Everton. December 2007.

An individual piece of brilliance which set United on their way to a narrow 2-1 win, with Ronaldo once again getting both goals. The winger collected Carlos Tevez's cross-field pass and turned towards the penalty area, selling Lee Carsley a brilliant dummy before firing into the top left corner.
