Cristiano Ronaldo has been sensational on his return to Manchester United and his penalty in the 3-0 win over Brentford was his 18th Premier League goal of the season.
He is just one goal behind Tottenham ’s Heung-Min Son and two adrift of Liverpool ’s Mohamed Salah in the race for the Golden Boot. Yet former Real Madrid team-mate Raphael Varane has suggested a different Iberian for United’s Player of the Season.
Varane has named David De Gea and the Spain goalkeeper has been one of the few consistently good performers for United during their difficult season. De Gea was also named by interim boss Ralf Rangnick as one of the handful of players United can rebuild their team around.
