Speaking to BT Sport after Manchester United’s victory, Fernandes spoke highly of Ronaldo’s contribution.
He said: “Every week it seems like a new record. We are really happy. last Thursday was tough for him he tried really hard goalkeeper made good saves.
“Today he scored and we win, that’s the most important for Cristiano.”
Fernandes was referring to Ronaldo’s performance against Omonia, in which he had eight shots at goal, and failed to score.
He cut a frustrated figure after the game, with his display not enough to earn a starting spot against Everton.
Anthony Martial’s injury gave Ronaldo a chance, and he made the most of it at Goodison, scoring his first Premier League strike of the season.
He was clinical, slotting in a one on one chance after being set up by Casemiro.
This will lift Ronaldo’s confidence, and United’s players were thrilled for him. This could be the spark he needs to get his season up and running.
