CRISTIANO RONALDO is ready to drive Manchester United into the Champions League.
The Portuguese legend, 37, returned to training ahead of Saturday’s trip to struggling Everton, having missed United’s 1-1 draw with Leicester on Saturday through illness.
And having scooped his third Red Devils Player of the Month award this campaign, he had a positive message for fans.
He said: “I feel so happy and motivated for the rest of the season. I will do my best, like I do all the time. See you soon in Old Trafford.
“Lovely. Thank you very much for these votes.”

Ronaldo has 12 Prem goals from 24 games and is in contention for United’s Player of the Year award.
But he reckons personal accolades are more valuable when combined with team success.
Having also bagged the Premier League and United’s Goal of the Month gongs, Ronnie posted a picture of himself with his haul on Instagram.
He captioned it: “Individual achievements are always welcome, but they are worth so much more when they are connected to collective wins.

“There are still many things to fight for until the end of the season and we can never quit on achieving the goals that remain possible and within our reach.
“Let us go for more! Let us fight until our last breath! Let’s go, Devils!”
Elsewhere, United are spending millions upgrading their training ground — including a games and music room.
The Reds have plans in place for a huge revamp of their Carrington complex, which requires a much-needed uplift.
Old Trafford chiefs put in planning permission last year for new facilities, offices, gym and catering area along with overspill car park.
Players’ input is being considered, with ideas and suggestions submitted.
And SunSport understands fresh recreational rooms to relax in are on the agenda.
The upgrades will also see a quiet and chill out zone, for their stars to wind down after morning sessions.
A wellness area for activities like yoga and reading is also on the cards to assist recovery.
It is believed United have appointed Mags Mernagh as Programme Director.
She was one of the main brains behind Leicester’s £150million training mega-complex.
The Reds put a planning application in last year for new floodlights and an all-seater stand at Carrington.
They also want improved access paths, pitchside toilets, an electricity sub-station and new fencing along the east side.

SunSport revealed last month how United are putting ‘hoods’ on the new floodlights to protect endangered bats.
Experts were drafted in to write up a special report into the nocturnal mammals, with the shields recommended.
