Cristiano Ronaldo crossed paths with Tom Brady. Ronaldo enjoyed a brilliant night, scoring a scintillating hat-trick to help Manchester United beat Tottenham 3-2 in the Premier League.

Ralf Rangnick says Fred produced one of his best performances since he took over as Manchester United manager three-and-a-half months ago.

Liverpool have revealed the severity of Mohamed Salah’s injury is still unknown after the Egyptian was forced off against Brighton. Salah scored a penalty in the 2-0 win that took Liverpool to within three points of Manchester City at the top of the table, but shortly after scoring he went down and was replaced by Diogo Jota. With the Reds still fighting in three competitions, any injury to their star man would be a huge concern and the club will be hoping that the news proves to be positive.

Cristiano Ronaldo showed his anger towards Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick in his match-winning performance in the 3-2 win over Tottenham, according to Roy Keane. Ronaldo moved onto 807 career goals with a brilliant display at Old Trafford which included his 59th hat-trick.He opened the scoring with a thunderbolt into the top corner from 25 yards but an Alex Telles handball allowed Harry Kane to equalise from the penalty spot for Spurs.The 37-year-old gave United the lead once again with a tap-in from Jadon Sancho’s pass before an own goal from Harry Maguire made it 2-2.Ronaldo struck for a final time in the 81st minute, powering in a header from a corner to move United past Arsenal into fourth place in the Premier League.It was a classic performance from the Portuguese superstar – and Keane believes it was born out of frustration with his situation at the club."That’s where United are at, the quality of both teams wasn’t great,” he said on Sky Sports.“But it was entertaining and Ronaldo stepped up to the plate.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s hat-trick inspired Manchester United to a crucial 3-2 victory over Tottenham and ensured he broke yet another goalscoring record, but Richard Keys has cast doubt over the superstar’s latest achievement.The 37-year-old looked back to his devastating best after a fine individual display to score all three goals and boost United’s hopes in the battle for a top-four finish in the Premier League.His first strike was a stunning 25-yard effort that sailed into the top corner past Hugo Lloris to open the scoring and, after Harry Kane equalised from the penalty spot, he restored the advantage just before the break.Jadon Sancho sprung the offside trap to set up Ronaldo for a tap-in, before Harry Maguire’s own goal brought the visitors back level.But it was Ronaldo again who rose to the occasion as he powered a header into the top corner late on to clinch three important points for the Red Devils.That hat-trick, the 59th of his professional career, means that he has now bagged 807 goals in professional football — the most by any player in history.But according to Keys, the former Sky Sports presenter who now hosts beIN Sports’ Premier League coverage in Qatar, Ronaldo’s legitimacy as the record holder can be brought under question by Brazil legend Pele.“It is an extraordinary achievement, 806 goals, whichever way you look at it,” Keys said in a post-match discussion on beIN Sports.“But there is some dispute as to whether it is a record.

Cristiano Ronaldo headed straight down the tunnel while clapping Manchester United fans after scoring a hat-trick vs Tottenham - choosing not to claim the match ball himselfThe 37-year-old added to his first-half screamer and tap in with a booming second-half header to ensure Harry Kane's penalty and Harry Maguire's own goal meant nothing.Having been subbed off immediately after grabbing his third, there was no huge celebration from Ronaldo at full-time - and he headed inside while clapping Old Trafford fans.Although he didn't collect the match ball himself, Ronaldo is said to have asked a member of staff to do so as he turned his attentions to Atletico Madrid.One fan said in response: "Bro ain’t even stress for the match ball."With a second saying: "Ronaldo didn’t even bother to pick up the match ball. 59 hat tricks."A third added: "Ronaldo got too many match balls, didn't bother with his 59th today."With a fourth concluding: "Ronaldo ran down the tunnel without even going to get the match ball because jobs not finished."Is Ronaldo the greatest of all time?

Antonio Conte’s side had no answer to Ronaldo’s brilliance as his hat-trick contained a 30-yard thunderbolt, a calm and composed close range finish, and a perfectly timed and executed header.It was the perfect performance at the perfect time for Ronaldo, whose absence for last week’s chastening Manchester derby defeat dominated the headlines.

Roy Keane was left fuming over Manchester United pair Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane wearing gloves but would have let Gary Neville do so.The former United captain admitted ahead of his former side's meeting with Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday that he did not like "big strong centre halves" wearing gloves, even in the warm-up.However, he has no qualms with his full-backs choosing to keep their hands warm both before and during matches.As a result, his old Red Devils team-mate Neville would have got away with wearing gloves during his 11 years playing alongside the Irishman at Old Trafford.Both Maguire and Varane were spotted with gloves on as they warmed up ahead of Saturday night's clash with Spurs, leaving Keane unimpressed.Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: “Are they gloves? Are they wearing gloves? Am I seeing things? That's a great message, that."Presenter Kelly Cates responded by asking: "Maybe they've just got cold hands?"Keane then snapped back by saying: "Two big strong centre-halves.

Best striker in the league and old enough to be most players dad."A third continued: "Don’t know how anyone can say that he holds United back, without him they’d be in a much worse situation."With a fourth adding: "How anyone can give this guy stick is beyond me!!"Is this Ronaldo's best goal for five years? Give us your thoughts in the comments sectionRonaldo's former team-mate Gary Neville was just as complimentary, saying on Sky Sports: "I was just about to say how tentative this game was, and then an absolute explosion of brilliance from Cristiano Ronaldo.

Liverpool continued to pile the pressure on Premier League leaders Manchester City with a comfortable 2-0 win over Brighton on Saturday.The Reds maintained their relentless run in the league, claiming an eighth successive win to cut City's lead down to a mere three points.Luiz Diaz opened the scoring at the AMEX less than 20 minutes into the contest, heading home after the Premier League's Player of the Month for February, Joel Matip, floated one in behind Brighton's backline.The Colombian courageously nodded past onrushing Seagulls stopper Robert Sanchez, who was lucky to escape punishment after clattering the Liverpool forward.Mohamed Salah then converted a second-half penalty to clinch a comfortable victory after Brighton's Yves Bissouma blocked Naby Keita's goal-bound effort with his hand.Here, Daily Star Sport takes a closer look at what Jurgen Klopp got right against Brighton on a beautiful day on the south coast.Diaz's has made a seamless transition to Premier League football since his £50million arrival from Porto, even if he claims otherwise.The Colombian told BT Sport prior to Saturday's match that his start has been far from "easy" but it's fair to say he's made quite the impact.Klopp opted to drop him to the bench for Liverpool's 1-0 midweek Champions League defeat to Inter Milan and his absence was glaring.At the AMEX, however, Diaz was in from the off and the German's decision to recall his new recruit was justified.It took the 25-year-old less than 20 minutes to make his mark, racing in behind Brighton's backline before bravely glancing a header past the onrushing Sanchez.The goal was Diaz's second in Liverpool colours and you get the impression there's plenty more to come.Will Liverpool be crowned Premier

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was caught screaming in anger at Mohamed Salah after he had missed a chance against Brighton.Salah was bearing down on goal in the first-half after racing into the box but had his effort saved by goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.Klopp went mad on the sidelines as he thought his star man should have squared the ball across the box for team-mate Luis Diaz, who had already given the Reds a 1-0 lead in the Premier League clash.The German manager appeared to be shouting "pass the ball" at Salah as he wildly swung his arms about in frustration.Liverpool fans weren't happy with Klopp's actions as they sided with their Egyptian King."Salah had every right to shoot from where he did btw, there was no pass on at any stage. Klopp shouldn’t have had a go at him there," one argued.Another commented: "Klopp lashing out on Salah for not passing when he had a clear sight of goal and two defenders obstructing a passing option is embarrassing."Would you say Salah is selfish? Let us know in the comments section.Other supporters suggested the drama surrounding Salah's contract renewal was the reason behind it.One wrote: "Exactly who was he supposed to pass to?? If Klopp is annoyed at this situation, he should've benched him.

Micah Richards has left Thierry Henry flabbergasted with his audacious take over Karim Benzema.The Real Madrid forward ransacked Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday night, putting three past in the second half to overturn a two-deficit and ultimately win the game.But some felt Richards, on pundit duty for CBS Sports, bemused some with his subsequent praise of the 34-year-old.In particular, Henry, who was stunned the former Manchester City defender had only realised how good Benzema was until six months ago.On Benzema, Richards said: "But now, he's convinced me."Henry responded: "Just now?"Richards added: "Of late, in the last six months. He's convinced that he's up there with Harry Kane and Robert Lewandowski."Henry, clearly shocked, said: "Wow.

Manchester United have some interest a possible deal for Lyon forward Moussa Dembele in this summer transfer window.

Manchester United star looks completely unrecognisable from when he burst onto the scene at Old Trafford 19 years ago, when he was sharing the dressing room with Cristiano Ronaldo.Chris Eagles came through the United academy and into the first team when he was just 17, although he had Ronaldo to contest with as both stars battled it out in 2003.The slick gelled-up hair and the baby face that Eagles was known for is now gone as the former Premier League winner is sporting a well-groomed beard as he enjoys retirement.But he's having to enjoy it on two wheels as his driving ban means he is left unable to drive following a drunken incident last year.Eagles won owns a Premier League and Champions League medal from his time at United, but the former winger has landed himself in trouble with the police after hanging up his boots at Oldham in 2020.The former United star was caught outside his ex-girlfriend's house three times over the limit, and was also 'partially in a state of undress' in his £70,000 Audi.Along with a driving ban, he was ordered to pay a total of £1525 in fines and costs, and has since been snapped heading out on his bicycle.And it seems as though Eagles has a record with driving incidents, as he was caught behind the wheel by Sir Alex Ferguson even though he was only 15.Eagles opened up about the situation in an interview with Ladbrokes, as he said: "I drove a car somewhere when I was 15 and Sir Alex found out about it and called me in his office. I was petrified."It’s the worst experience ever because you don’t know what he’s going to do.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp agrees "100 per cent" with the UK Government's sanctions on Roman Abramovich.The Russian oligarch had his assets frozen on Thursday (March 10) which sent Chelsea, who he has owned since 2003, into a state of crisis.The Blues were able to proceed with their Premier League fixture against Norwich but there are serious concerns about matters off the pitch.Klopp has spoken out in support of the decision while also expressing his sympathy for those involved with the club, including his fellow German manager Thomas Tuchel."Thomas and I, we know each other, but we are not that close that we chat," he said."I feel for him and the players and all the employees at Chelsea because it's nothing they are responsible for but what happens around."One man is responsible for that and it's Vladimir Putin in the first place. "I don't know about Roman Abramovich's role in all these kind of things but over the years you could guess that maybe he's pretty close."And I then I think what the British government did is right to be 100 per cent honest but it is still not cool for all the people at Chelsea and all the supporters.What do you make of Klopp's comments?
