Jams

Ralf Rangnick is currently lagging behind expectations with Manchester United and has called on Cristiano Ronaldo (37), who has been goalless for five games: “He has to score more goals, that’s obvious.” goalscorer of this millennium – a look at the database shows that Rangnick is not entirely wrong. Ronaldo last had a five-game goalless streak for Real Madrid in 2010, while he had to wait four games for a goal for Juventus Turin.

Wolverhampton, Brentford FC, West Ham, Middlesbrough and most recently Burnley FC are the clubs that pulled Ronaldo’s tooth this time. “We create chances but haven’t scored enough goals,” said Rangnick. At the same time, the coach emphasized that the Portuguese was not solely responsible for this. “It’s not just Ronaldo’s problem, it’s also a problem for the other players.”

Since winning his first Ballon d’Or for his achievements in 2008 – the year the five-time world champion became a goalscorer – the attacker has only once had a longer lull: from 21 December 2008 to 17 January 2009, the Portuguese struck in seven straight Don’t hit the mark. He could certainly cope better with this series, since the “Red Devils”, then still under Sir Alex Ferguson, scored an average of 2.57 points from the games. Currently there are only 1.4 points.

After the disappointing 1-1 draw at Burnley, the next chance of a goal awaits on Saturday at 1.30pm against Southampton FC, against whom the veteran has only played three times in his career and scored once – as a 19-year-old in December 2004. The “ Red Devils” urgently need a threesome in the tight race for the last Champions League ticket (to the Premier League table) in the fight for 4th place, Rangnick’s declared goal for the season.
