The Portuguese failed to find the back of the net in his first three matches in Serie A, before finally breaking his duck with a brace against Sassuolo in September.

Since then, Ronaldo has been among the goals regularly in Italy, adding another two to his tally in his side’s 2-1 win over Genoa on Saturday.

Cristiano Ronaldo has now equalled a 60-year-old goalscoring record at Juventus

According to the Daily Mirror, the 33-year-old has now scored seven league goals in his first 10 matches for the Bianconeri, becoming only the second player to achieve that ratio at Juve since John Charles, who did so in the 1957/58 season.

Charles ended his debut campaign with the Italian giants with 28 strikes, a tally Ronaldo will be backing himself to better this season.

A host of top names came close to the same feat for Juve, but fell short of the mark, including Gonzalo Higuain, Carlos Tevez and Filippo Inzaghi, who all managed six strikes in their first 10 Serie A matches for the club.

Meanwhile, Alessandro Del Piero, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and David Trezeguet all scored five goals in their first 10 league outings for the Bianconeri.

The prestigious Golden Ball will be handed out by France Football on 3 December, and many believe there could be a new winner for the first time in 10 years, with Luka Modric having already picked up the UEFA Player of the Year and FIFA’s The Best Men’s Player awards this year.

Ronaldo and Messi have shared the Ballon d’Or between them since 2008, each winning it five times, and while the Portuguese forward dreams of beating Messi to lift his sixth Golden Ball, he does not count the Argentine among this year’s favourites.

“The same as usual, even if I don’t know if Messi will be on the podium this time,” he told France Football when asked about his favourites.

“So, let’s say Mohamed Salah, Luka Modric, Antoine Griezmann, Raphael Varane, Kylian Mbappe – the French in general because they are world champions.”

However, despite not choosing Messi as a favourite for this year’s Golden Ball, Ronaldo did praise the Argentine for reigning alongside him at the top of the game over the past 10 years, and questioned whether the current crop can be at the top as long.

“But I will wait and see if all these players are still at the top in 10 years, like Messi and I have done, and like we continue to do,” he added.

“Still there, on the podium, since more than 10 years.”

Ronaldo left Madrid as their all-time highest goalscorer to join the Serie A champions, Juventus last summer in a 100-million-euro deal. McManaman stated this after Madrid were defeated 5-1 by Barcelona in the El Clasico La Liga fixture played on Sunday.

Goals from Luiz Suarez (3), Philippe Coutinho (1) and Arturo Vidal (1) ensured victory for the Catalan club at the Camp Nou. Marcelo’s lone strike was not enough to get a point for the visitors.

McManaman said it was now necessary that the Santiago Bernabeu club must reinforce their squad in the January transfer window to turn things around.

McManaman reveals what Cristiano Ronaldo’s absence has done to Real Madrid

 “Everybody was surprised, weren’t they?” McManaman told Reuters on Monday.

“They took a long, long time to bring in new signings. They didn’t bring anyone to replace Cristiano.

“It was a big shock for everybody. Whether they could buy somebody of his quality, I don’t know.

“The fact that they didn’t bring anybody in and they did slow business in the centre forward area, it surprised everybody.”

McManaman added, “They probably need to refresh the team a bit more, to be very honest. They have kept the majority of the same team for the last couple of years.

“If you look at the age group of the Real Madrid players now, four or five of them are in the 30’s. It’s probably the time to start refreshing it and bring in more players and try and replicate the success.

“They have got a hard job on their hands. They are not playing well, the manager is under pressure and the team as well. They need to do something and need to do it quickly.”

The 29-year-old flew into London from Chile on Thursday and stayed in the capital where he gathered with teammates ahead of Saturday’s match at Stamford Bridge.

Sanchez will be joined on the sidelines on Tuesday night by Diogo Dalot, Marouane Fellaini, Jesse Lingard, Scott McTominay and Phil Jones.

“The players you saw are the players that are available,” Mourinho said. “Nothing to hide and Alexis is out.”

Mourinho urged the United players to focus on their performance rather than the ‘awful’ result at Stamford Bridge, where a 96th-minute Ross Barkley equaliser denied them victory. The United manager admitted there were mixed feelings as the squad left Stamford Bridge.

“Against Chelsea, there were contradictions in our feelings because, by one side everybody was happy with the collective performance but not the result, so there were contradictory feelings.” He said.

Ronaldo’s fifth Serie A goal for Juventus was added to his 84 Premier League goals he scored for Manchester United and 311 in La Liga for Real Madrid.

Ronaldo scored the goal tapping in from close range after Genoa failed to clear their lines when Joao Cancelo‘s shot took an awkward deflection inside the box.

Ronaldo’s milestone puts him 10 goals above the second top scorer in Europe’s main leagues, Lionel Messi – who scored his 390th La Liga goal for Barcelona in their 4-2 win against Sevilla.

However, Juventus’ perfect start to the season came to an end in Turin on Saturday as Genoa earned a 1-1 draw and the visitors dropped the first points this season.

The hosts dominated most of the game having 21 shots but only three were on target – all from Ronaldo, who had 11 efforts in total in the first half of the game. The draw left the defending champions four points above second-placed Napoli who won 3-0 against Udinese later on Saturday.

It completes a dramatic turnaround for the 23-year-old, whose career at United had appeared doomed after a steady stream of public and private criticism by Jose Mourinho.

Shaw struggled under Jose Mourinho at first, but is now a mainstay in the manager’s team

Shaw, 23, has enjoyed a superb start to the season and United’s belief in his talent partly convinced them to abandon a move for Juventus full-back Alex Sandro in the summer.

Mourinho informed Shaw while he was on holiday in early June that he would stay at the club as he approached the last year of his contract and the Manchester Evening News revealed that month United were prepared to offer the England international a new deal.

Shaw has been harshly criticized by Mourinho in press conferences a number of times, with the United manager last year claiming Shaw’s performance against Everton that ‘he had a good performance which was his body with my brain’.

Following the announcement of his new deal, Shaw said: “Since I came to United it’s been a whirlwind four years that have passed so quickly. I am very proud to sign my new contract and continue my stay at this great club”.

The contract, worth upwards of £150,000 a week, completes a dramatic turnaround at United

‘If you look at my situation in the last year, you would have thought this would have been impossible. But I worked hard and I wanted to make sure my future was here and to help this club, so I am really happy”. He claimed.

“It’s been an odd five years for me. There have been ups and downs but now it is all about looking forward”. He continued.

Meanwhile, the under-fire Portuguese boss was full of praise for one of his stand-out players this season.

“Luke fully deserves this contract. He understood his development process, he has worked really hard at every level and he always believes in himself which is a great attribute to have. Luke is still young and improving and he must feel very proud of himself”. He said.

Zidane won several trophies for Real Madrid

Zinedine Zidane hopes to succeed Jose Mourinho as Manchester United manager as the former Real Madrid coach considers his return to football. Zidane was being lined up as sporting director at Juventus but wants to stay in management and has set his sights on the Premier League and, in particular, United.

According to L’Equipe, the 46-year-old is now keen to test his ability in the English top flight, and is especially interested in taking charge of Manchester United.

The Portuguese tactician is said to be under pressure to deliver the Premier League trophy this season, and it seems likely he will not remain in charge if he fails to do so

Some believe Jose Mourinho’s stay at the Red Devils is slowly coming to an end as the manager is not happy with the backing he has received from his board in the latest transfer window.

United managed to make only three signings before the deadline: Diogo Dalot, Fred and Lee Grant, who is a third-choice goalkeeper.

In the past, Mourinho has seldom stayed longer than three seasons at a club, and Zidane is said to be very aware of this, which is why he is apparently putting his name in the hat should the role open up.

“I really want to show I’m not like the others, I’m different, it’s a very emotional moment for me and the club because I’m not 23, I’m 33.”

Ronaldo returned to Juventus at the end of July to meet his new team-mates and begin training. He had been given a bit of extra time off to recover after his World Cup campaign with Portugal, where they were beaten by Uruguay in the last-16.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was yesterday pictured shopping with Georgina, 24, in Milan as the pair get used to life in Italy. Ronaldo seems to have no regrets about leaving Real Madrid – after unfollowing the club on Instagram.
