Cristiano Ronaldo ‘s season has been far from perfect so far. He has scored just 2 goals in all competitions this season and provided just 1 assist. Ronaldo fans although, should not be disheartened. His performances have seen an upward trajectory of late.
Despite failing to score against Omonia last midweek his performance was pleasing. He then came on as a substitute against Everton and scored the goal to give Manchester United the win. He also provided an assist for a ruled out Rashford goal. His performances since Wednesday show that the past few months were probably just a blip in form, and the Ronaldo is far from being finished at the top level.

Maybe these two games truly are the return to form for the Portuguese.
Will Cristiano Ronaldo start for Man United going forward?
With the World Cup ahead his form is vital for Portugal’s success. Along with Rafael Leao, Diogo Jota, and Bernardo Silva, Cristiano Ronaldo has plenty of company in attack. He is the captain of this young Portuguese team and his leadership qualities will truly be on display for the World Cup.
Owen Hargreaves:
“Rashford and Ronaldo were very good together. Marcus has speed with the ball and it was a good assist by Ronaldo. It’s nice to see them playing together. Both had good shots. I think they can even join Martial, Rashford and Ronaldo. ” pic.twitter.com/YKa7eSBRfE

As for Manchester United, with Anthony Martial getting injured yet again, Ronaldo’s importance has shot up yet again. He was unable to get any game time under ten Hag, but Rashford performing well on the left-wing and Anthony Martial’s injury means that his place in the team seems to be cemented for a while.
