ESPN UK recently highlighted that Ronaldo remains the last player to score a free-kick for the Red Devils. This remarkable stat has sparked a flurry of reactions, with fans marveling at Ronaldo’s enduring impact on the team despite his departure.

Ronaldo’s unmatched records in Manchester United 

Ronaldo made a return to Old Trafford in 2021 following his time at Real Madrid and Juventus. During his second stint with the Red Devils, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner was one of the club’s greatest players. 

He frequently delivered crucial performances, often shouldering the team’s burden, before eventually having a falling out with Erik ten Hag a year later.

During the 2021-22 season, the 39-year-old scored 24 goals and provided three assists in 39 appearances. Among his standout performances were hat-tricks in league matches.

These matches were played against Tottenham Hotspur and Norwich. Notably, he scored his 15th goal of the season with a direct free-kick against the Canaries.

Over two years since Ronaldo’s departure, no Manchester United player has scored directly from a free-kick. This remarkable statistic highlights Ronaldo’s exceptional skill, and fans have been quick to acknowledge his impact on the club.
