He remarked: That's as silly as it is arrogant. @Cristiano is undeniably one of the best footballers in the sport's history. 

With a double in United's 3-2 victory against Arsenal on Thursday, Cristiano scored 801 career goals for club and country.

That’s as ridiculous as it is disrespectful. @Cristiano is indisputably one of the greatest players in the history of the game. An absolute phenomenon. https://t.co/rOYsaLmoXw

He is the only player in history to have scored top-level goals, adding to his record of becoming the all-time leading scorer in men's international football, the Champions League, and for Real Madrid. 

The Portugal Star shows no signs of slowing down, having pulled Manchester Utd out of trouble yet again with a magnificent performance against the Arsenal.

His total of 801 goals in 1,097 appearances is simply incredible for a modern-day superstar.
