Cristiano Ronaldo has sent an emphatic message thanking fans for their support throughout a "very difficult" campaign after they voted him Manchester United Player of the Season.
The 37-year-old was awarded with the now-named Sir Matt Busby award after scoring 24 goals in 38 games across all competitions for United last season. He also finished as the third-highest scorer in the Premier League (18), behind only Son Heung-min and Mohamed Salah, who netted 23 each.
As the Red Devils finished with their lowest-ever Premier League points tally and performed pretty miserably over the course of the campaign, Ronaldo was one of few players to come away from the season with any kind of credit at all. United finished with 58 points from their 38 games and will play in the Europa League next season, narrowly pipping West Ham to the top six on the final day.
