At this age, little wonder how the Portuguese have seemingly played football at its peak.
With what he tagged the second phase, Ronaldo recorded the 30 hat-tricks after his 30-year-old birthday against the Canaries.
However, Ronaldo who has registered a total of 21 goals for United in all competitions got a bonus of £750,000 and an extra £100,000 for scoring a hat-trick.
Emerging reports from England reveal that, onwards to the end of the season, Ronaldo will earn £100,000 for every goal scored and with United having 6 games left, the iconic forward will aim to reach the 30 goals mark.
