Erik ten Hag expects to see plenty more from Cristiano Ronaldo after his 700th career club goal got him off the mark in the league for this campaign and delivered a 2-1 win for Manchester United at Everton.

Ronaldo came off the bench to replace the injured Anthony Martial in the 29th minute at Goodison Park. Fifteen minutes later he was celebrating the landmark strike after Antony cancelled out Alex Iwobi’s early goal with his third for United in as many Premier League appearances.

After a summer of transfer speculation, Ronaldo, 37, continues to be linked with a move away from United this January amid frustration at playing a reduced role and a lack of Champions League football.

He had played only 207 minutes of Premier League action before this match and was left out of the starting XI again, but, after seeing him get off the mark for this campaign, Ten Hag talked up his importance. “That is really impressive,” he said. “When you score 700 goals, it’s a huge performance. "I’m really happy for him.
