Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to the English Premier League, joining his former team Manchester United from Italian Serie A, marking his comeback to Old Trafford after 13 years. During his first stint, Ronaldo led United to numerous titles, most notably the Premier League and the Champions League.
On the other hand, Liverpool, United's traditional rival, signed the magician Mohamed Salah, who has broken records in the Premier League and restored the Reds’ prestige by winning titles again. Under Salah's influence, Liverpool claimed the Premier League title after a 30-year drought, along with their sixth Champions League title in club history.
Following Salah’s stellar performance in his last game against Manchester City, where he scored an iconic goal and assisted another, he became the joint top scorer in the Premier League this season alongside Jamie Vardy, each with 6 goals. Salah has scored 103 goals in 165 Premier League matches, with 6 goals in 7 matches this season. He surpassed the 100-goal mark last month and is nominated for the Player of the Month award.
As for Ronaldo, he has played 4 matches this season, scoring 3 goals. He is also nominated for Player of the Month along with Salah, Ivan Toney (Brentford), Ismaila Sarr (Watford), Michail Antonio (West Ham United), and Antonio Rüdiger (Chelsea). Who will outshine the other? Will one of them be crowned the top scorer of the Premier League? Upcoming matches will provide the answers.
