Cristiano Ronaldo’s time at Manchester United is the stuff of legend at Old Trafford.
With Anthony Martial making an explosive start to his United career, perhaps the comparisons with Ronaldo were inevitable.
And while that might be flattering for the young Frenchman, it’s worth noting that the 19-year-old has a scoring record that is greatly superior to that of the young Ronaldo.
Anthony Martial (19) scores his 5th goal for #MUFC in his 9th match. Ronaldo needed 39 matches to score 5 goals for United at age 19.

Needless to say, he’s already eclipsed the goalscoring feats of Radamel Falcao in a United shirt, but just to rub salt into the wounds…
Martial has scored the same amount of goals for United as Falcao did for United and Chelsea combined.(Via: @CollarUpCantona)
