Ronaldo returned to the starting line-up and managed to get on the scoresheet, but it wasn't enough to prevent United's 10th loss of the campaign.
Despite the team's poor form, Ronaldo has managed to score 22 goals in 35 games this since re-joining from Juventus. 16 of those have come in the Premier League and only Mohamed Salah and Son Heung-min have scored more.
Some believe Ronaldo's return last summer disrupted a young United attack and call him a 'problem' at Old Trafford.

His lack of pressing and help in build-up play is often brought up, but Legasus' video seems to hit back at this claims.
Ronaldo can be seen occupying space to draw defenders away from his teammates while also laying up a number of chances for Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho among others.
It's seen fans argue Ronaldo isn't a problem, but a saviour for United.
One commented: "Ronaldo has NEVER been the problem in this team."

Another said: "I'm sorry Ronaldo for blaming you. Accept my apologies."
A third put: "And they still call Ronaldo a selfish player."
While someone tweeted: "This is really sad to watch."
Ajax boss Erik ten Hag was announced as the new United manager on Thursday and will take over at the end of this season.

Ronaldo's future will be a hot topic, as it's likely the Red Devils will miss out on Champions League football.
BT Sport pundit Robbie Savage believes it's key the 37-year-old stays for another year.
"You’ve got to keep him, 22 goals this season," he explained per Sportskeeda. "Listen, he was brought in to make Manchester United try and win things. He’s stuck to his end of the bargain, he’s got 22 goals in a team that’s sixth in the Premier League.
"His goals have got them 13 points, his goals got them into the knockout stages of the Champions League. People say he’s part of the problem? These people talk nonsense!"
