However, Manchester United have already missed out in all competitions this season and the Red Devils won't also be playing in the Champions League next term.

This means that even if Manchester United should beat Crystal Palace with wide margin, it will be of no importance.

Ronaldo rejoined Manchester United from Juventus last summer inking a two-year deal for his second stint at Old Trafford.

The Portuguese started impressively netting a brace in his first game for Manchester United.

In the month of April, Cristiano Ronaldo scored five Premier League goals for Manchester United most especially the hat-trick against Norwich City at Old Trafford.

A consolation strike at Arsenal in a 3-1 defeat to the north Londoners followed and that was Ronaldo’s 100th Premier League goal.

After 37 games played this season in the Premier League, Manchester United are currently occupying sixth position on the table with 58 points.
