Cristiano Ronaldo has said his primary role at Manchester United is to score the goals that fires the team to success, but says a period of adaptation must be allowed as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looks to gel together his new-look squad.
The Portuguese's second spell at Old Trafford got off to a lightning start, as Ronaldo netted a brace on his re-debut against Newcastle before following that up with strikes against Young Boys in the Champions League, and against West Ham in the Premier League.
He was then the goalscoring hero against Villarreal in the Champions League, and stood up to be counted once more on Wednesday against Atalanta - planting a bullet header into the corner to win the game for United 3-2, having trailed 2-0 at half-time.
But things aren't all rosy for the Red Devils.
Solskjaer's position as manager is coming under further scrutiny as the games and weeks pass, but Ronaldo has told Sky Sports that there must be time for the players to adapt and acclimatise - though he ultimately believes the club can, and will, be successful.
