There Have Been Nearly 70 Players Better Than Cristiano Ronaldo In The Premier League This Season

Cristiano Ronaldo's frustrations continued in Manchester United's latest game, and the forward is quite low down on the list of best Premier League players this season.

Ronaldo, and United as a whole, struck out once again on Saturday, as they drew 0-0 with relegation threatened Watford, despite 22 shots for the home side.

The five time Ballon d'Or winner had one goal chalked off for offside and for the rest of it he was a frustrating figure, waving his arms in the air, missing chances, blasting a free kick into the wall, and he'd probably have missed when Bruno Fernandes should have passed to him.

Whilst he was far from the only poor United performer on the day, it means he's now scored only one goal in the past 10 games, and has seen some even call for him to retire.

That poor run of form has seen him drop down the rankings in the league, with WhoScored's player ratings having the 37-year-old down as the 69th best player in England's top tier, with an average of just 6.93.

According to the football stats site, Mohamed Salah is the Premier League's best player this season, with an average rating of 7.84 out of 10.

That's no surprise really considering the Liverpool forward is the league's top scorer with 19 goals, with the second top scorer, teammate Diogo Jota, a ridiculous seven behind him.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is second behind Salah, with Joao Cancelo splitting those two Reds stars from Sadio Mane in fourth place.

Those are the only of Jurgen Klopp's players in the top 10, with Cancelo being joined by Bernardo Silva, fifth, Rodri, sixth, Kevin de Bruyne, seventh and Phil Foden, 10th in the top 10.

Outside of the top two, Son Heung-min and Jarrod Bowen round off the top 10, especially impressive from the West Ham star who is having a hell of a season.

Whilst Bowen's 7.29 puts him amongst the elite players in the league, Ronaldo has a score less than 7 and has put him well down the charts.

The Champions League's all time top goal scorer is directly below the likes of Fred, Adama Traore, Jordan Henderson and Christian Norgaard.

It really isn't ideal right now for the former Juventus forward, or his current club, who expected to challenge for the title, especially after the huge fanfare over his return.

The draw with Watford keeps them in the top four right now, but Arsenal are just two points behind and have three games in hand.
