Cristiano Ronaldo 's match-winning hat-trick earned him £850,000 on Saturday afternoon as Manchester United saw off Norwich City.
The Portuguese star put the Red Devils 2-0 up at Old Trafford before he bagged a late winner from 25 yards in front of the Stretford End. Ronaldo has now scored 21 times for United this term and his efforts continue to keep them in the race for the top four despite several below par showings.
Ronaldo returned to Manchester in the summer following 12 years away with Real Madrid and Juventus. Included in his contract were several performance related incentives. One was a £750,000 bonus should he break the 20 goal barrier. He is also picking up £100,000 for every goal he scores on top of that, according to The Sun.
