It’s a bold claim, but one that has been made by many experts and football pundits, as well as a fair few former players, but is man-of-the-moment Cristiano Ronaldo worthy of being named the best player to have ever played for Manchester United?

Better than Denis Law? Better than Bobby Charlton or Eric Cantona? Better than George Best? A cut above Duncan Edwards? Better than Billy Meredith, who was the United step-over king back in the days before the First World War?

Ooh, we can hear Red Devils' fans tearing their hair out as they agonise over who is the finest player to grace the Theatre of Dreams.

Ronaldo couldn't turn it on today against Man City, but his strike record this season is scary – as is the knack he has of scoring memorable goals on an almost weekly basis. Twenty-seven goals in 28 games says it all. Footballer of the year last year and a shoo-in to retain the title this season. But is Ronnie really the best ever?
