It was a fitting end to a rollercoaster campaign, marked by both highs and lows. Ronaldo’s hat-trick was a timely reminder of his enduring quality. The Portuguese superstar showed that, despite his advancing years, he remains a lethal threat in front of goal. His performance not only helped United secure a Champions League spot but also gave fans a glimpse of the team’s potential under new manager Erik ten Hag. As Manchester United begin to rebuild under their new regime, Ronaldo’s experience and leadership will be invaluable. With the Portuguese icon still in their ranks, the Red Devils will undoubtedly be a force to be reckoned with in both the Premier League and Europe.
