Explained: How 36-year-old Ronaldo's stats compare to Zlatan's debut Man United season

Cristiano Ronaldo became the oldest starting striker for Man United when he rejoined the club earlier this season.

Re-joining the club at the age of 36, the challenge for Ronaldo was the same as it was for Zlatan Ibrahimovic when he joined at the same age in 2016.

Ibra had an impressive debut season in the Premier League, scoring 17 goals and registering 5 assists in 28 appearances.

Ronaldo played only 18 games before he turned 37 on Saturday, in which he only managed to score 8 goals and register 3 assists.

Cristiano has not scored a league goal since late December and is currently on a 4-game goalless run.

He needs to score against Burnley on Saturday to avoid having his worst run of games without a goal since 2010!
