A new hat-trick for Cristiano Ronaldo, and he is again on the covers on the newspapers. Digging up interesting information before the match between Manchester United and Norwich, Twitter community found out that statistically, United’s forward scored less goals in 2022 than Norwich striker Tiemu Pukki. Whether he read it or not, Ronaldo broke that ‘record’ with a hat-trick against the Canaries, but also posted an Instagram post himself, with sentence “30 hat-tricks before 30 and 30 hat-tricks after 30. It’s time to unbalance the scale”.Ian Wright on Ronaldo: “He’s got 13 points alone from winning goals that he’s scored for them. That’s what you get at Man United. That’s exactly what Arsenal need, because if he wasn’t playing for United they’d be nowhere near where they are.” pic.twitter.com/oNC9oDRzKP— AfcVIP⁴⁹ (@VipArsenal) April 17, 2022 So far, the Portuguese captain scored 15 Premier League goals, along with 6 in the Champions League, and there is no one in Manchester to match his total tally. The next one is midfielder Bruno Fernandes with only 9 goals in total. So, like it or not, Cristiano is the Red Devils best player. And for some, it’s still not enough, but for others, he would be perfect player for another club…like Arsenal.30 hat-tricks before 30 and 30 hat-tricks after 30. It’s time to unbalance the scale! 💪🏽 pic.twitter.com/McgGZBmzyh— Cristiano Ronaldo (@Cristiano) April 17, 2022 Former Gunners great Ian Wright suggested it (sort of), when he talked about Manchester United and their season. Arsenal’s former striker was talking about the importance of Ronaldo and his goals for the Red Devils and their season.“He’s got 13 points alone from winning goals that he’s scored for them. That’s what you get at Man Utd. That’s exactly what Arsenal need, because if he wasn’t playing for United they’d be nowhere near where they are. That’s what you pay for and that’s what he’s delivered, he’s amazing” Wright said to Premier League productions.CR7’s hat-trick to fight off the bottom dwellers, his first free kick goal since July 2020But on the other side is Jamie Carragher, who still doesn’t like what he sees from Ronaldo. Former Liverpool defender doesn’t dispute the fact that the Portuguese is a goal scoring machine, but he criticize the lack of leadership from Cristiano, especially with the youth players and also predicts that he will present new coach Eric ten Haag with a problem.“Where do you go right now if you’re United and you’ve got a 37-year-old Ronaldo? He’s still got a year to go, a new manager is coming in and he’s going to want to buy a centre-forward. I think Ronaldo, for how great a professional he is and how great a player he is, I think he could be a problem. I’ve been disappointed with him this season. Not with the goals, but it hasn’t gone well for United, and I’d like him to be more of a leader. I’m not bothered if he gets the odd goal, his goal record is amazing, it’s a legendary figure. I just think sometimes, I look back at the Everton game, he was throwing his arm up at players, kicking the ball out at times, we all get frustrated, but I’d love to see him be that guy who lifts the younger players a little bit. I just think that’s been lacking.” Carragher said to Roy Keane in a video for LADbible.PREMIER LEAGUE – REARRANGED GAMESTuesday22.00: (1.45) Liverpool (4.80) Man.Utd.
