Ronaldo has scored just once in his last eight Premier League appearances and spurned a number of chances in the goalless draw with Watford a week ago.

Despite his recent struggles in front of goal, the Portuguese forward has still managed to notch 15 goals in 31 appearances across all competitions this season, including a number of important strikes in the Champions League.

Ronaldo's struggles are in part down to an overreliance on him following Mason Greenwood's continued absence from training and selection, coupled with Edinson Cavani's recent injury problems, which have amplified the expectancy of their veteran striker.
