Cristiano Ronaldo's mum can now rest easy after her son scooped
a hat-trick of awards at ManUtd.com.
After notching two goals on Monday for the 12th time in his United
career, the Reds' no.7 admitted his mother sometimes asks him why
he never completes a hat-trick. Now Ronny can point to the three
awards bestowed on him this week by ManUtd.com.
Visitors to the website voted Cristiano Ronaldo United's Player of
the Month for November, while the Portuguese international also
picked up the website's Goal of the Month award and Man of the
Match prize for his performance against Fulham.
It's no surprise the 22-year-old won all three honours after
netting five times in four matches during November. His strikes
included an important goal at the Emirates Stadium, two in two
minutes at home to Blackburn Rovers and a curling beauty against
Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League.
But it was another goal in Europe his last-minute scorcher
against former club Sporting Lisbon that landed him the November
Goal of the Month prize. With United and Sporting locked at 1-1,
Ronaldo stepped up to blast home a free-kick from 25 yards and
secure top spot in Group F and 71 per cent of the vote.
He was also an overwhelmingly popular choice for the Player of the
Month award, amassing 51 per cent of the vote. Patrice Evra came in
second with 16 per cent.
