Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo breaks yet another record
According to The Sun, Cristiano Ronaldo has now broken the record of scoring in most stadiums (66) since 2003-04 after scoring against both Young Boys and West Ham United.
Since the 2003/04 season, the Portuguese has scored in various stadiums around the world and against several teams, but he did break a record this week after finding the net against Young Boys in mid-week and West Ham United on Sunday.
Although United did lose the game against Young Boys on Tuesday evening, the Portuguese scored the first goal of the game before being taken off in the second half. Against West Ham on the weekend, the 36-year-old equalized almost instantaneously after Said Benrahma’s deflected shot had given the Hammers a lead.
In doing so, United’s star summer signing has now scored in 66 stadiums. Although Ronaldo faced West Ham United during his first stint with the club, he had never played in the newly constructed London Stadium.
In fact, the Portuguese can only increase this record once he visits the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Amex Stadium, and the Brentford Community Stadium. The Portuguese broke the record, which was also held by an ex-Manchester United player in Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The Swede, who is currently applying himself at AC Milan, has scored in 64 Stadiums and added many stadiums to his list while playing for the Red Devils. After Ibrahimovic, there are ex-Manchester City players Edin Dzeko (54) and Sergio Aguero (51), who are 3rd and 4th respectively in this list.

He can add this to a long list of scoring records that he possesses, including his records in the UEFA Champions League.
However, for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and co, the most important thing would be that their summer signing has started the season in good form, and they would be hoping he continues to do so as they look to challenge on all fronts.
