However, the journey so far has been quite stressful for fans as United are currently moving towards a sixth straight season without any silverware. United's recent exit from the FA Cup was their most realistic hope of achieving a trophy this season.
For Ronaldo, it has been business as usual as the 5-time Ballon d'Or winner has scored 14 goals from his 24 appearances for the Red Devils. But his team's incompetence to win silverware could end up being a huge concern for the Portuguese, who is known to be a serial winner.
According to the latest report from the Mirror, Cristiano Ronaldo could leave United in the summer to join French heavyweights PSG. Les Parisiens are reportedly looking to sign the Portuguese international which could boost their financial income and popularity.

It will also mean that the iconic duo of Messi and Ronaldo will finally play together in the same team.
