Ronaldo’s powerful penalty against Norwich City earlier this month drew him level with United legend Tommy Taylor on the all-time goals chart, with 131 each.
With his strike against Burnley, Cristiano is now one place above the iconic Busby Babe, whose haul would, of course, have been even greater had he not lost his life in the 1958 Munich Air Disaster.
NEXT ON THE LIST
Since returning to United earlier this season, Ronaldo has overtaken Andy Cole, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Brian McClair and now Taylor in our all-time scorers list.
Now in 14th position, Cristiano will need another 15 goals to move ahead of 13th-placed David Herd. Will he do it this season? Never bet against him!
