Ronaldo's six-game goal drought is his longest in half a year

The Portuguese forward has failed to find the net in his last six matches for Manchester United

His last goal came in the 3-1 win over Arsenal on September 4

Cristiano Ronaldo is enduring his longest goal drought in half a year after failing to find the net in his last six matches for Manchester United.

The Portuguese forward's last goal came in the 3-1 win over Arsenal on September 4, and he has since drawn a blank in matches against Real Sociedad, Sheriff Tiraspol, Leeds United, Omonia Nicosia and Everton.

It is Ronaldo's longest goal drought since January, when he failed to score in seven consecutive matches for United.

The 37-year-old has been criticised for his performances this season, and there have been calls for him to be dropped from the United team.

However, manager Erik ten Hag has continued to back Ronaldo, and the forward is likely to start in United's next match against Newcastle United on Sunday.

Ronaldo will be hoping to end his goal drought and help United get back to winning ways after a disappointing start to the season.
