Ronaldo hasn’t quite hit those heights following his return to England in the summer, but has almost single-handedly kept Manchester United in the Champions League with a string of late goals.
The Portuguese also became the most prolific goalscorer of all time in international football earlier this season.
De Bruyne was rewarded for his fantastic performances last term, which saw the Belgian win a third Premier League title and a fifth League Cup as well as being named PFA Players’ Player of The Year for the second consecutive season.
