10 times Cristiano Ronaldo stunned everyone with his brilliance while playing for Manchester United

Derby v Manchester United - Premier League

#10 Arsenal: The quintessential counterattack

Probably the last great goal scored by Cristiano Ronaldo for Manchester United. This counterattack was so effectively devastating that UEFA started using it in their coaching manuals to teach about counter-attacking football.

Arsenal’s cross, the clearing header by Nemanja Vidic, the back-heel by Ronaldo to Ji-Sung Park, Park’s pass to the running Wayne Rooney, Rooney’s low-ball, and finally Ronaldo’s lung-busting run into the Arsenal box to finish with aplomb.

It was carnage, and it was over in less than 15 seconds. It sent United to their second consecutive Champions League final, and Arsenal crashing out.
