The Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo has been named as the best player of the season by the Premier League, after scoring a hat-trick and assisting two goals against Liverpool on Sunday.

Ronaldo, who is currently out with a thigh injury, had a fantastic performance for his side, making a total of three assists and two goals. He also scored a crucial goal in the second half to give United a 2-1 lead over Liverpool.

The game was played at Old Trafford, where the Red Devils have struggled to score goals this season. However, Ronaldo proved that he can be a force in the penalty box, as he made several key saves and successfully blocked shots from Liverpool defenders.

"It's great to see Cristiano scoring three goals today," manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said. "He's shown so much professionalism and dedication throughout the season, and I'm really proud of him."

Ronaldo has already won four awards this season, including the Footballer of the Year award. His performances have been praised by many fans and critics alike, with some calling him one of the greatest players of all time.

Despite his impressive form, Ronaldo will still need to perform consistently if he wants to maintain his high standards. The Portuguese is known for his ability to make big saves and provide assist to his teammates, but he will need to continue improving his skills to stay ahead of the competition.
