Erik ten Hag and Frank Lampard led tributes for Cristiano Ronaldo after the Manchester United star became the first player in football history to score 700 goals at club level. The 37-year-old reached the landmark when hitting United\u2019s winner at Everton \u2013 20 years and two days after opening his account for Sporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ronaldo is also the leading goalscorer in international men\u2019s football and the Champions League, and his phenomenal achievement drew praise from both managers at Goodison Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat is really impressive,\u201d said Ten Hag. \u201cTo score 700 goals is a huge performance. I\u2019m really happy for him. I congratulate him on that performance and I\u2019m also happy as it\u2019s his first goal this season in the Premier League. He had to wait for it and I\u2019m sure there will be more goals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everton\u2019s Lampard, who played against Ronaldo for Chelsea and England, added: \u201cIt is outstanding. He is one of the greatest players to have graced the game and in an era when we have had him and Messi. The comparisons between them doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey are both incredible players in football history. The numbers they have racked up are abnormal numbers that have become normal. When he was on 699, I wanted him to score in the Europa League the other night. But in the cold light of day you have to give him credit. It is amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United manager believes Ronaldo\u2019s confidence has suffered this season without a Premier League goal, but backed the veteran to improve after ending his drought. Ten Hag added: \u201cEvery player needs it, even when you are the best in the world. I have worked with many goalscorers and they need goals in every season to have that feeling, to have confirmation of their intuition. Once they have some goals they come in a flow and games go easier. That will happen with him as well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
