Sergio Aguero couldn't resist teasing Man Utd youngster for calling Ronaldo the GOAT

Cristiano Ronaldo was at his scintillating best for Manchester United on Saturday.

While the Reds Devils limped and laboured their way through a Premier League clash with Norwich City, their star man was able to save the day with his 50th career hat-trick in club football.

Ronaldo had fired the hosts into a 2-0 lead by sweeping home a close-range finish from Anthony Elanga’s recovery work, before heading an Alex Telles corner past Tim Kurl’s reach.

However, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner watched all that hard work unravel in front of his eyes when Norwich brought the game back to 2-2 courtesy of goals from Kieran Dowell and Teemu Pukki.

But it just so happens that Ronaldo is the finest clutch footballer in the world, so we should hardly have been surprised that he saved the day for United by completing his second treble of the season.

Just a second free-kick goal in the club game since leaving Real Madrid made the difference in the end with his stinging set-piece finding the net via Krul’s gloves and the far post.

All in all, it crowned one of the finest performances of Ronaldo’s return to Old Trafford and he could celebrate the occasion by taking home the third Premier League football of his career.

At least, he could have done, because television footage actually showed Ronaldo passing on the match ball that he smashed into the net three times to Alejandro Garnacho.

The 17-year-old sensation was named in United’s match-day squad by Ralf Rangnick and although he spent the entire game on the bench, he nevertheless shared a special moment with Ronaldo at full-time.

Garnacho has been a standout performer for United’s under-18 team on their way to the FA Youth Cup final and was even called up to Argentina’s senior squad
