Ronaldo, who finished the year with 47 goals in for club and country, shared an image of himself alongside his family and reflected on what has been an eventful 2021 in his professional career.

Having started the year with Juventus, Ronaldo emerged as the Serie A top scorer but the Italian giants lost the Serie A title to Inter Milan.

The 36-year old would go on to make a sensational return back to Manchester United at the tail end of August.

Despite being United’s top goalscorer so far this season, Ronaldo was quick to admit that the team’s performances left loads of room for improvement.

“2021 is coming to an end and it was far from being an easy year, despite my 47 goals scored across all competitions,” he said on Instagram.
“Two different clubs and five different coaches. One Euro Final Stage played with my National Team and one World Cup Qualification left pending for 2022. At Juventus, I was proud to win the Italian Cup and the Italian Supercup, and become the Série A Top Scorer. For Portugal, becoming the Euro Top Scorer was also a high point this year. And of course, my return to Old Trafford will always be one of the most iconic moments in my career.”
“But I’m not happy with what we are achieving in Man. United. None of us are happy, I’m sure of that. We know that we have to work harder, play better and deliver way more than we are delivering right now,” he went on.

United ended the year on a high following a comprehensive 3-1 win over Burnley in the Premier League to move back to the top six.

Ronaldo was in among the goals once again as he tapped in his side’s third goal of the night.

United’s next game is against Wolverhampton in a Monday night game on January 3.
