With a strong month of April under his belt, Cristiano Ronaldo is a strong candidate to be named the Premier League’s Player of the Month.
In the Premier League’s Player of the Month award, Cristiano Ronaldo has been nominated for the accolade.
Ronaldo was outstanding on an individual level despite the fact that Manchester United only managed five points from six games in April against teams such as Leicester City, Everton, Norwich City, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea. A hat-trick against Norwich was among the five goals the forward scored in the four games he appeared in – Ronaldo was unavailable for United’s matches against Leicester and Liverpool.
Yet another Blue might complete a transfer away from Chelsea after Mason Mount’s commitment.

After being voted Player of the Month in September, the 37-year-old is vying for the award once more this season. It is only Steven Gerrard (six), Sergio Aguero (seven), and Harry Kane (seven) who have won the personal trophy more times than Cristiano Ronaldo (five).
With his win in January, David de Gea became the most recent United player to take home the accolade this season. On that occasion, De Gea became the first goalkeeper to receive the monthly award since February 2016, and he became the first to do so since 2011.
Ronaldo has scored a total of 24 goals in 38 appearances for Manchester United this season, with just Mohamed Salah of Liverpool and Tottenham’s Son Heung-min of Tottenham having scored more goals in the Premier League this season. This season, the forward has often been the hero for United, scoring goals on his own.
