Another game, another goalless performance from Cristiano Ronaldo. The Manchester United star failed to find the back of the net once again on Saturday as the Red Devils conceded a second-half goal to settle for a disappointing 1-1 draw with Southampton at Old Trafford.
After struggling to produce once again, Cristiano has now gone six appearances without bagging a goal, his longest cold spell in 13 years:

Not ideal to say the least, both for Ronaldo and Manchester United. He was even brought on as a substitute earlier in the week against Burnley, which as you can imagine, wasn't to his liking. The 37-year-old quickly stormed off the pitch when the final whistle blew.
The Portuguese international has now scored just eight times and supplied three assists in 20 Premier League fixtures this term. While these numbers are by no means poor to most players, for Cristiano, it's absolutely out of character. The man usually scores a goal a game. With Manchester United still sitting outside of the top four and Ronaldo clearly not happy with Ralf Rangnick's way of doing things, it would be no surprise to see him leave Old Trafford this summer. Especially, if the club does miss out on Champions League football.
