Cristiano Ronaldo will be bidding to avoid matching an unwanted losing record when he takes to the field for Manchester United against Norwich City on Saturday afternoon.
The Portugal international is widely expected to lead the home side's line this weekend, as the 20-time English champions bid to return to winning ways in the Premier League.
Ronaldo has scored 12 goals and registered three assists in 25 Premier League appearances this season, while he has netted 18 times overall at club level during the 2021-22 campaign.
The 37-year-old has been on the losing side in seven of his 25 league appearances for Man United this term, though, and only twice before has he lost more league fixtures in a single top-flight campaign.
The first of those came in 2002-03 with Sporting Lisbon (eight), while he also lost eight times for the Red Devils in the Premier League during the 2003-04 campaign.
There remains widespread speculation surrounding the attacker's future at Old Trafford, but he still has more than a year left to run on his current deal, with the option of a further 12 months.
