How the Manchester United dressing room reacted to stunning Cristiano Ronaldo hat-trick

David de Gea and Victor Lindelof have heaped praise on their 'unbelievable' teammate Cristiano Ronaldo after his devastating hat-trick put Manchester United firmly back in the top-four mix. The 37-year-old netted his 60th career treble at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner needed just seven minutes to make a mark against the rock-bottom Canaries and, predictably, had the final say as well after United found themselves on the receiving end of a fightback. United were level with Norwich with just 15 minutes to play before that man Ronaldo saved them in the dying embers.

A swerving free-kick took Ronaldo's goal tally for this Premier League season to 15 and, in the process, means only three points separate Champions League hopefuls Tottenham, United and Arsenal - although the Gunners do have an extra game to play.
