Ronaldo has scored 24 goals and provided three assists in 37 appearances since his sensational return.
He’s netted more than Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Edinson Cavani combined.
But there have been question marks over whether the Portuguese will fit into Erik ten Hag’s plans.
Ten Hag looks to have answered that question after giving the clearest indication yet that Ronaldo will remain a key part of his plans next season.
Speaking in the Netherlands, Ten Hag said: “From Monday, my focus will be on United.
“What I have to say about it is, the detailed analysis still has to begin, I still have to work with the team, but let me be clear that at United there are a lot of good players around.

“We have to make them function as a team but definitely Ronaldo — he is a giant.”
Ronaldo hasn’t shared his thoughts publicly, but is expected by many to stay put, regardless of the absence of Champions League football.
If he does look for a new challenge elsewhere, a return to Sporting Lisbon is the most likely scenario at 7/2 with Betfair.
French champions PSG are next at 9/2, whole Real Madrid and Manchester City are offered at 8/1 and 12/1 respectively.
Bayern Munich and Juventus are locked together at 14s, with Inter Milan (20/1) and Chelsea (25/1) the outsiders of the chasing pack.
