After making a move to Manchester United from Sporting CP in January, the 25-year-old already made an impression on the fans at Old Trafford. But if his effort is anything to go by then no one will be getting close to Ronaldo's record.

Fernandes' former manager at Sporting, who is now 65, was also tagged to give the challenge a go.
