Summary: Manchester United - Brentford 0: 3 (Sport 1)

Even at the age of 37, even when the climax seemed to be behind him, even with his eternal rival Leo Messi showing signs of slowing down in Paris, Cristiano Ronaldo continues to provide exceptional numbers.

Last night (Monday) the Portuguese starred in United's 0: 3 over Brentford, with a goal from the penalty spot, another goal that was disqualified, a penalty that was squeezed and activism and defensive commitment.

It was Ronaldo's 24th goal of the season in all competitions, making this season his third most prolific in the team uniform.

Ronaldo even reached 18 Premier League goals this season, equal to his balance in the 2008/09 season, his last at United before moving to Real Madrid.

He currently needs just two goals to reach 700 goals in his career (excluding the national team).

Overall, after scoring against Brentford, the list of teams Ronaldo has scored against throughout his career stands at 122 (!).

At the end of the game, which was United's last home game of the season, Ronaldo looked particularly happy when the team's fans called his name and sang in his honor.

As the camera focused on him, Ronaldo was seen filtering towards her a message to commentators who eulogized him and saying with a wide smile: "I'm not done yet."

And yet, despite the impressive numbers and proven abilities, it is still unclear whether Ronaldo will stay at United next season, and to what extent - if at all - the next coach Eric Tan is building on him.

Interim coach Ralph Rangnik said at the end that "with the way he played tonight - it's not only the goal, but also the penalty he squeezed and his assist for the defense - why he could not be part of the squad next season as well? But by and large, the answer to that question lies with Eric Tan The brother, and also a little with Ronaldo himself. "

Rangnick surprised and claimed that "Ronaldo is not a key striker, and in fact also does not want to play in this position. In order for him not to play in this position, you have to play with two strikers. On the other hand, there are not many top teams playing with two strikers. Most play or with "Three strikers, or with an imaginary striker. In any case, for me the question is not necessarily his position on the field, but how many quality players United will be able to bring in the summer."

Commentators say that in any case, Ronaldo will have to change his approach next season and get his new position in the team, assuming at least two new strikers arrive.

"The new coach will come, talk to him, and explain to him that he has to stop with the nonsense every time he is replaced or left out of the squad. He needs to be more mature, be a better leader," Roy Keane argued.

"This is the stage where he has to grow up and understand that these are the last years of his career, and that in an ideal scenario, a player his age should not be United's leading striker. If he is unable to understand that, he will not be able to continue. "To get off the bench for 20 minutes and win games like that. He wants to play every minute, even at his age, but at this stage of his career, that's just nonsense."

Jamie Krager even believes United should sell Ronaldo in the summer, despite his impressive numbers.

"What he does at 37 is truly incredible. These are not just his goals, but the very fact that even at such an advanced age he is able to earn minutes in the best league in the world, in one of the biggest clubs in the world. But if United want to move on, I'm not sure they should continue. With him, "Krager explains.

"If she still sees herself as one of the biggest teams in the world, she can not count on a player at 38. Yes, he will probably give her at least 20 goals next season as well, but she has to move on. United have a lot of problems and they need a few more strikers. "It will be very difficult for the new coach to make a mark if Ronaldo stays. Whenever Ronaldo does not play, it will become a big story. He will always be the story, and with him it will be very difficult for a senior striker - if he does - to express himself."
