Cristiano Ronaldo has shared a defiant message with his Manchester United teammates after reviving their dwindling top-four hopes. Ronaldo netted a devastating hat-trick against Norwich City as United took full advantage of their Champions League rivals Arsenal and Tottenham losing on Saturday afternoon.
At the close of play, only three points separate those hopefuls. Next up for Ronaldo and United is a daunting trip to Anfield on Tuesday night (8pm). Not only are Liverpool battling for the Premier League crown this season, they also inflicted a humiliating 5-0 defeat on their bitter rivals earlier in the campaign.
It was an alarming result that contributed to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer losing his job. In gunning down Championship-bound Norwich, meanwhile, Ronaldo scored his 60th career treble - his second in five weeks.
