Cristiano Ronaldo's performances in the 2021-22 season have seen the Manchester United star nominated for the player of the season award in the NorthWest Football Awards.
The United man is one of five nominees, including Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne and current holder Mohamed Salah of Liverpool. The list is rounded off by Everton and England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and Burnley midfielder Josh Brownhill, who has remained at Turf Moor as the Clarets aim to bounce back following their relegation last term.
Ronaldo has been used sparingly by new manager Erik ten Hag, making just his second start of the campaign in Thursday's Europa League defeat at home to Real Sociedad. However, a productive 2021-22 season on a personal level has earned him the nod, while United players are also in the frame for other awards.
