Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag said he believed Cristiano Ronaldo could build on his first Premier League goal of the season, which came in the club's in the 2-1 win at Everton on Sunday, and find his prolific form again.

Ronaldo came off the bench to fire the winner in the first half at Goodison Park, a strike that was the @700th club goal of an incredible career and came 20 years and two days after his first.

It was Ronaldo's first league goal of a season where his game time has been restricted under Ten Hag, and the manager felt it would give him a lift ahead of some crucial matches to come.
