Cristiano has returned home, which is why it’s a perfect time to look back at his best goals. Not only he started with Man United, but some of his best performances were with them. Moreover, this is probably the team he will retire with, so it’s never too late to look back at the career of this prodigal son.

A technical touch against Portsmouth
He was just arriving in the team during the season before the one mentioned above, during 2005-2006. Playing against Portsmouth, there was a technical counter-attack close to goal and with almost every defence lined up. It was into a small opening that Cristiano kicked with his left foot, making it one of the most eye-catching goals of his early career.
The goal against Fulham in the Premier League
During the 2007-2008 season, we were still getting to know one of the best players in the world. Not only did Man United win, but Cristiano also scored a spectacular goal. Ryan Giggs took an equine shot that ended in three headers in the box. The fourth was Cristiano’s, and it resulted in a goal that marked part of his history.
The Champions League free-kick against Sporting Lisbon
At minute 92, when everything was about to go down to the final minutes of the Champions League matches, Cristiano scored the definitive goal. They were taking a free kick and, despite being a long way out of the box, he managed to achieve a historic goal. We also have to add that he couldn’t have a worse angle.
Premier League goal against Everton
This goal is historical because he managed to play through the defence after achieving a perfectly positioned pass from the left. Not only does he get past almost every defender on the team, but he also kicks the ball with enough power to score a goal that went past at least 2 players.
