Manchester United boss, Ralf Rangnick has noted that there was no way Cristiano Ronaldo could have scored a hat-trick against Tottenham without the efforts of his teammates.

He said while hailing the Portugal international who scored his 59th career hat-trick to become football’s highest goalscorer ever.

It was Ronaldo’s 807th career goal for club and country and is now the FIFA-recognised all-time top goalscorer, surpassing Josef Bican’s 805 goals.

Today it was his best performance, at least since I arrived. He was good in training on Thursday and that is why I decided to start him,” Rangnick said during his post-match press conference.

Fantastic performance by him but also by the rest of the team,’ Rangnick said.

He can do it [get 70,000 people off their feet], but again he can also do it only with the team.

A fantastic performance. It was not just the three goals today it was also he was part of the team when they were in possession of the ball.”
