Everybody that has been following the EPL this season and has been following Manchester United surely has been impressed by Christiano Ronaldo’s free kicks, the way that he strikes the ball and makes it go up and down the wall beating goalkeepers has been his secret recipe this season, nobody can imitate his technique, which seem to work half of the time.
What is his secret?
Nobody knows and it's been a subject of discussion everywhere, including here at Bleacher Report.
However, Christiano Ronaldo isn’t the only free kick taker at United. Of course, many would quickly think of Ryan Giggs as a second free kick taker because of his left foot, but this season a new talent was found in United’s squad, an Englishman called Owen Hargreaves.
The newly signed player from Bayern Munich has been more than impressive in his first season at our beloved club. His presence in the midfield has helped United control games while quickly switching from defense to offence.
Hargreaves has been even more impressive with his free kicks. All the free kicks that I have seen him take were very well placed and required a great save from the goalkeeper, and he even managed to score two amazing ones, most recently against Arsenal, a game that saw United come back from a 1-0 loss to post a 2-1 victory thanks to Ronaldo’s penalty and an amazing free kick from Owen Hargreaves that left Lehmann amazed, so much so that he didn’t move or even attempt to go for the save.
The shot went perfectly over the wall and into the back of the net.
So now I ask you this: "Who would you want to see taking United’s next free kick?"
We're going to send you the most entertaining Manchester United articles, videos, and podcasts from around the web.
