The striker, like the rest of the squad, had a poor end to the season, missing the final-day defeat to Crystal Palace due to a hip flexor injury.
His Man-of-the-Match effort against Brentford at the start of the month, though, was largely responsible for him reclaiming the trophy.
It’s Ronaldo‘s third win in a row, and his fifth overall in his first season back at Old Trafford since joining from Juventus in the summer.
The Portugal international’s powerful penalty against the Bees was his 18th and final goal in the Premier League in the 2021-22 season.
The other candidates for the prize were Juan Mata and Anthony Elanga, but Ronaldo won with 78 percent of the supporters’ vote, putting him comfortably ahead of the pack.
Mata came in second, followed by Elanga, a juvenile.
Again, congratulations, Cristiano, and best wishes for Portugal’s UEFA Nations League matches next month.
