Top-performing signings XI 2021-22

# Left Winger - Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United)

Cristiano Ronaldo made a goalscoring return to Manchester United.

Cristiano Ronaldo made a goalscoring return at Manchester United after nine seasons at Real Madrid and three at Juventus.

The 36-year-old hit the ground running on his second debut, scoring in his first Premier League game in 12 years. After finding the back of the net in United's defeat to Young Boys in their Champions League opener, Ronaldo scored in a third-straight game last weekend.

The all-time Real Madrid and Champions League top scorer is already up to four goals in three games across competitions at his old stomping ground. Thanks to Ronaldo's blistering start to the season, United will fancy their chances of a first Premier League title in almost a decade.

# Centre-Forward - Romelu Lukaku (Chelsea)

Romelu Lukaku scored on his second Chelsea debut.

Romelu Lukaku is one of the hottest strikers on the planet. He has arrived at Stamford Bridge on a €115 million transfer from Inter.

Lukaku, like Ronaldo, scored on his return to his old club when he found the net in Chelsea's 2-0 win over Arsenal. The 28-year-old has now scored three times in four Premier League games. Lukaku also netted in Chelsea's 1-0 victory over Zenit St. Petersburg in their Champions League opener.

The Belgium international has arrived at Chelsea after a prolific campaign with Serie A winners Inter Milan. Lukaku scored 24 league goals as Inter Milan won their first league title in 11 years last season.

Considering his blistering start to life at Chelsea, the Blues will fancy their chances of winning their first league title in five years and of making another deep run in the Champions League.

# Right Winger - Memphis Depay (Barcelona)

Memphis Depay has hit the ground running at Barcelona.

Memphis Depay has made a sparkling start to life at Barcelona. The former Manchester United striker has hit the ground running at Camp Nou after a prolific stint at Olympique Lyon.

Depay has bagged two goals and an assist in five games even though Barcelona have made an indifferent start to the league campaign in the post-Lionel Messi era.

The Dutchman, though, failed to get going in his first Champions League game for Barcelona. Depay drew a blank as the Blaugrana were beaten 3-0 by Bayern Munich at home.

With what looks like a difficult campaign ahead of them, Barcelona will look to Depay for goals as they start a new era at the club.
