Breaking news: Ronaldo sets himself a challenge after scoring 60th career hat-trick as Man Utd star says 'it's time to unbalance the scale'
The 37-year-old still wants to break
new ground, even after writing himself into
the record books yet again
Cristiano Ronaldo has vowed to “unbalance
the scale” following his latest three-goal
haul for Manchester United, after the Portuguese
netted his 60th career hat-trick against
Norwich City on Saturday.
The Red Devils attacker helped fire Ralf
Rangnick’s side to victory in the Premier
League this weekend, fending off a Canaries
comeback effectively single-handedly on
the scoreboard.
Now, the 37-year-old – already in remarkable
shape for his age – says that he still has
new ground to cover heading forward.

Sunday, Ronaldo celebrated his latest haul
against the Canaries, the third of his United
career and second since his return to Old
Trafford at the start of the campaign.
In a short post, he paid tribute to his remarkable
achievement – and promised that there
would be more to come.
“30 hat-tricks before 30 and 30 hat-tricks
after 30,” he wrote. “It’s time to unbalance
the scale!”
With a half-century of three-goal hauls
at club level and another 10 for Portugal
in the international arena, few are remotely
in the same league as the Portuguese.
It is the second time in as many months
that Ronaldo has turned in a superb solo
performance to save United’s proverbial bacon.
He previously produced all the goals
in a 3-2 victory against Tottenham in March.
