Cristiano Ronaldo's emotional meltdown after hitting record shows where he is.

Cristiano Ronaldo has had a rough couple of weeks recently, and he was unable to hide his frustration after passing up a golden opportunity to bag his 700th career goal on Thursday night. Ronaldo missed a golden opportunity to bag his 700th career goal on Thursday night.

Just a few days after Erik ten Hag admitted that Cristiano Ronaldo was "p***** off" about a lack of first-team action, Ronaldo, who is now 37 years old, played the full 90 minutes of Manchester United's frenetic 3-2 win over Nicosia Omonia. The game was intense. Marcus Rashford's two goals and Anthony Martial's goal in the second half were enough to save the Red Devils' blushes, but the striker's struggles continued. Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford both scored in the second half.

The former Real Madrid and Juventus star is currently on the hunt for his next goalscoring milestone, and a start for his team against Omonia seemed like it would provide him with the ideal opportunity to achieve that milestone.

But Ronaldo produced a shocking miss from six yards out to sum up his current woes when he had the goal at his mercy late in the game. It was a moment that left even the man himself completely bewildered and it summed up his current struggles.

Ronaldo has not scored more than one goal so far this season, and he has seen his role at Old Trafford diminish to that of a bit player in recent weeks. However, he was able to set up Marcus Rashford for United's game-winning goal in Cyprus and also assisted on United's first goal of the match.

And Ten Hag, who has started Ronaldo in all three of Manchester United's European fixtures so far this season and has repeatedly backed the veteran, had plenty of praise for Ronaldo's performance despite the fact that the striker was held scoreless once again.

Cristiano Ronaldo endured another difficult night.

Ten Hag told the club's in-house media, "I think the first two [shots he had produced] good saves from the goalie," in reference to the shots he had taken. "He not only had a couple of opportunities, but he also created a couple of opportunities for himself.

Because of his contribution to the team's first goal, which Marcus Rashford and him scored, we can say that he had an effect on this match.

A symbol of Old Trafford Paul Scholes is also convinced that the seasoned player will prove his worth. Even though he missed a number of opportunities against Omonia, he insisted that Ronaldo should start Sunday's match against Everton alongside Rashford and Martial. Everton's opponent is Manchester United.

Ronaldo missed a golden chance to bag his 700th career goal.

On Thursday night, Scholes gave the following interview to BT Sport: "There aren't going to be a lot of games that Cristiano will be able to play in, but I think Everton could be one of them." Since it is not an extremely large pitch, he will not be required to run all over the place while working the channels.

"When he's got two wide lads who have goals in them, I think Martial and Rashford look more dangerous. The two wide lads that played today were Jadon Sancho and Antony. I know Antony scored on Sunday [against Man City]; however, I think Martial and Rashford look more dangerous. I believe that they have a little bit more about them, as they can go either way, they are quick, and defenders will be frightened to death of them."

He continued by saying, "Cristiano, okay, he had a lot of chances tonight, it didn't quite work for him, it wasn't quite his night, but that won't happen for long with Cristiano. " If he gets chances, especially on Sunday, he will score. If he gets chances."
