Cristiano Ronaldo is a bonafide Premier League and Manchester United legend. After returning to his old stomping ground this summer, the Portugal captain has already scored a team-high seven goals in 13 Premier League games.

His latest strike - the winner from the spot against Norwich City - made the 36-year-old one of Manchester United's oldest Premier League goalscorers.

Ronaldo, a three-time Premier League winner (2007-09) is now only nine strikes away from entering the competition's 100-goal club. It's a landmark the five-time Ballon d'Or-winning attacker is expected to achieve before the end of the ongoing 2021-22 season.


#2 Paul Scholes (11-time Premier League winner) - 37 years, 304 days (2012)

The 48-year-old scored in each of the first 22 seasons of the Premier League, only failing to score in his last campaign in the competition in 2013-14.

One of three players with over 600 Premier League appearances, the former winger (632) was recently surpassed by Gareth Barry (653).
