Both Chelsea and Man United have produced their fair share of world beaters but it goes without saying that these two could very well have been the best for their respective clubs in the Premier League era.

Ronaldo came to United aged 18 and spent six seasons at Old Trafford. During that time, he played 196 times in the league, scoring 84 goals – an average of 0.42 goals a game.

Hazard arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2012 aged 21. Now in his seventh season, he has scored 85 goals in 240 games. An average of 0.35 goals a game.

So while Hazard now has more goals, Ronaldo had less time and a better goals per game average. Easy to pick the goal machine from the two world-class forwards.
