It was always going to be Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese superstar has scored his 10th goal of the season for Manchester United.
United have been pretty defensive under Michael Carrick, who brought on more attacking players after the hour mark to change things around before edging for a goal.
We’ve been a lot more positive in the second half and that was clear for Ronaldo’s goal when Fred pushed forward to catch Villarreal.
Ronaldo then sent the ball over the goalkeeper in cheeky fashion.
Who else?

Villarreal will be disappointed but they didn’t offer much on the night to frighten United.
The goal puts United on course to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League.
What a wonderful goal from CR7.
That must be the goal of the season.
