Real Madrid vs Man Utd: Cristiano Ronaldo's 3 Greatest Goals For Both Clubs

Top Three Goals for Manchester United

1. Manchester United v Portsmouth (30/01/2008)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BePoF4PrwHs It was Cristiano Ronaldo€™s coming of age season and this goal typified what was a sensational year for the Portuguese star. Manchester United won a free kick 30 yards from goal and unsurprisingly Ronaldo grabbed the ball. After performing his iconic run up and deep breath the winger proceeded to step up and hammer the ball into the top corner, leaving a bewildered David James stranded. The flight of the ball was like nothing anyone had ever seen before, it flew like an arrow towards the top corner €“ barely diverting from its destination. It has become one of the Premier League€™s all time great goals and demonstrated how, when Ronaldo is standing over the ball, anything is possible.
