Cristiano Ronaldo, fans and everyone else associated with Manchester United, and neutral football fans may still be just getting used to the fact that the Portugal international superstar made a sensational return to Old Trafford this summer, but there is more to talk about than him coming back to the Theater of Dreams. In his career, Ronaldo has played for Portuguese League side Sporting Lisbon before making his first move to English Premier League giants Manchester United back in 2003 and then followed up by sealing a world-record (then) transfer to Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid.

Sounders have been on fire in the league this season and have been by far one of the best sides in the league so far this campaign. Although they were not at their ruthless best against San Jose, an 18th-minute strike from Cristian Roldan was enough to hand them all three points as they look to extend their meteoric rise in the league.
