Cristiano Ronaldo has come under unnecessary fire this season.

Of course, his return to Manchester United was met with massive expectation. The Old Trafford faithful’s most successful son was back and with him came the dream of a title challenge and the resurgence of the United of old.

And it’s a trend that continues way back to August when he re-joined the club.

Given their second highest goalscorer Bruno Fernandes isn’t even
