Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo is set to be paid a whopping bonus of £850,000 following his hat-trick in Manchester United’s 3-2 edgy win against relegation threatened Norwich on Saturday evening.
According to English tabloid, The Sun, Ronaldo triggered a bonus-related clause in his contract after reaching 21 goals milestone for the season.
Ronaldo’s contract includes a £750,000 bonus for reaching 20 goals threshold plus a further £100,000 for his hat-trick strike.
Consequently Ronaldo will now receive £100,000 for each further goal he scores in the remainder of this season.
United will also pay their top scorer this season £1 million (whoever it could have been) and Ronaldo seems almost certain to achieve that accolade given that he is 12 goals ahead of his closest challenger Bruno Fernandes.
Ronaldo could get around £2.75million in total payments if he manages to reach 30 goals this season.
Despite heavy criticisms Ronaldo is playing a major part as he looks to keep his team’s hopes of finishing in the top four alive.
Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in the win against Tottenham last month and he repeated the feat against Norwich at Old Trafford on Saturday.
