Fabio Silva already runs more than Cristiano Ronaldo

If Cristiano Ronaldo already arrived really young at Old Trafford, Fabio Silva, the last talent of the Porto quarry, he's ready to break his precociousness records in England.

The former Porto surpassed the former Manchester United star to become the youngest Portuguese scorer in England at just 18 years and 155 days. The one from Madeira got it against Portsmouth on matchday 11 of 04/03, when he was 18 years old but 114 days older than the now nine for the Wolves.

After nine games played with the orange team, Silva opened his private account in the Premier League. In November he scored his first goals for the Wolves in the EFL Trophy against Doncaster Rovers, where they won 1-2 thanks to a double from Porto forward.
