MANCHESTER (Reuters) - Cristiano Ronaldo passed the 800-goal mark for club and country, scoring twice as Manchester United beat Arsenal 3-2 in an incident-packed Premier League match on Thursday.
United, with Michael Carrick on the bench as caretaker manager, were watched by their new interim manager Ralf Rangnick and after the match Carrick announced he was leaving the club.
Carrick, who said the decision was “100 percent” his own, was unbeaten in his three matches in charge of the team after taking over following the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last month.
United’s fans paid tribute to Solskjaer before the game with a banner in the Stretford End declaring “20-Legend” - a reference to the Norwegian’s old shirt number.
But it was another legend, Ronaldo, who took center stage during an end-to-end game.
