Cristiano wins April's best player award and is one away from the record

Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo won the Premier League Player of the Year award for April and is one award away from an all-time record.

Cristiano has won the award twice this season and six times in total between his two spells at Manchester United, leaving him one away of the record held by Harry Kane and Sergio Aguero.

In April, Cristiano scored his 100th Premier League goal in the 3-1 defeat of Arsenal, scored a hat trick in the 3-2 win over Norwich City and also found the net in the 1-1 draw against Chelsea.

The 37-year-old beat Nathan Collins, Kevin de Bruyne, Bruno Guimaraes, Gabriel Jesus, Heung-min Son, Thiago Alcantara and Leandro Trossard in the voting.
