Cristiano Ronaldo's brace against Wigan on Saturday was
enough to earn him the ManUtd.com Man of the Match accolade.
More than 1000 fans voted in the poll, which saw the Portuguese
winger pushed all the way by striker Carlos Tevez, whose tireless
performance attracted 34 per cent of the vote. But it was two-goal
hero Ronaldo who took home the prize for the second straight league
match, with an impressive 41 per cent.
The Reds' no.7 has now scored four goals in his last five
appearances, including winners against Sporting Lisbon and
Birmingham City.
This latest honour comes on the back of Ronaldo's inclusion in the
2006/07 FIFPRO World XI. The only United player in the side,
Ronaldo's place in the midfield alongside Steven Gerrard
(Liverpool) and Kaka (AC Milan) was confirmed on Friday 5
October.
The FIFPRO World XI is voted for by professional footballers around
the world.
