Cristiano Ronaldo has been named the EA SPORTS Player of the Month for April 2022, earning the prize for the second time this season.

The 37-year-old has won player of the month for a sixth time, now the most of any United player in the competition, overtaking Wayne Rooney's five.

Ronaldo was in impressive form throughout the month of April, scoring five times in just four matches for the Red Devils.

The honour is made even more impressive as he missed United's heavy 4-0 defeat to Liverpool due to special leave.

Ronaldo missed that match due to grieving over the tragic death of his newborn baby son.

The latest award now moves the Portuguese international to within one of the Premier League record of seven, which is held by Tottenham striker Harry Kane, and former Manchester City star Sergio Aguero.

In the month of April, Ronaldo scored his 100th Premier League goal, in a 3-1 defeat at Arsenal, while he also registered his 50th club hat-trick in a 3-2 win over Norwich City

Ronaldo notched his fifth goal of the month, equalising to earn a 1-1 draw with Chelsea.

The forward topped an eight-man shortlist that also featured Nathan Collins, Kevin De Bruyne, Bruno Guimaraes, Gabriel Jesus, Son Heung-min, Thiago and Leandro Trossard.
