Cristiano Ronaldo made an instant impact following his return to Manchester United - but the Portuguese superstar is currently going through one of the roughest spells of his career.
Ronaldo made it clear that he was eager to continue his career elsewhere following United's failure to qualify for the Champions League. But after a summer exit was scuppered by a lack of high-profile suitors, Ronaldo has found himself playing second fiddle to a reinvigorated Marcus Rashford in the opening weeks of the season.
The 37-year-old was handed a rare chance to impress Erik ten Hag in Thursday night's Europa League defeat to Real Sociedad, but he looked alarmingly off the pace - meaning he is likely to continue warming the bench for the foreseeable future.
