Manchester United's star striker Cristiano Ronaldo continues to prove that age is just a number. The 37-year-old was one of the Red Devils' lone shining lights in an otherwise underwhelming season. As such, the Portuguese footballer was voted into the PFA's Premier League Team of the Year.
Ronaldo scored 18 goals along with 3 assists in 30 Premier League games played in the 2021/22 season. His goal tally was only bettered by Liverpool's Mohamed Salah (23 goals) and Tottenham Hotspur's Son Heung-Min (23 goals).
