Ronny scoops Villa prize

Cristiano Ronaldo took yet more plaudits after winning ManUtd.com's man of the match award for his display against Aston Villa.

The Portuguese winger was the runaway winner in our post-match poll, which was far from surprising after his deadly display against Martin O'Neill's side.

Ronaldo opened the scoring with an impudent backheeled effort after 17 minutes - his 35th goal of the season - before setting up Carlos Tevez for the second goal with a sublime cross.

The 23-year-old then struck Scott Carson's crossbar before setting up both of Wayne Rooney's goals, completing a handsome victory for United and another memorable afternoon for Ronaldo.

Fellow goalscorers Tevez and Rooney occupied second and third places respectively, while Nemanja Vidic and Paul Scholes finished fourth and fifth in our shortlist.
