Ronaldo hits back at criticism of goalscoring record at Man United

Cristiano Ronaldo has hit back at criticism of his goal scoring record at Manchester United and insists he is still one of the best players in the world.

Interim manager Ralf Rangnick said earlier this month that it was 'obvious' Ronaldo had to score more goals before the Portugal superstar ended his worst drought for 13 years.

Ronaldo has come under fire in other quarters but is still United's top marksman this season on 15 goals and the only player at Old Trafford in double figures.

The 37-year-old has scored 804 goals in his career so far, including a world record 115 on the international stage, and believes he is still at the top of his game.

'I show year after year that the numbers speak for themselves,' said Ronaldo. 'I don't have to tell you that I'm very good, because the numbers are there.

'The facts are facts, the rest is not. It doesn't matter at all. That's why I'm very happy with my form. I'm still scoring goals, helping people, both in the national team and at Manchester United, and that's why I want to continue like this.

'I started playing at the top level at 18, and I've been at the top of the game for 15-16 years.
