Cristiano Ronaldo will receive a bonus of £850,000 following his hat-trick in Manchester United's 3-2 win against Norwich on Saturday night, reports to the British daily newspaper The Daily Mail.

According to The Sun, Ronaldo triggered a bonus-related clause in his contract after reaching 21 goals for the season.

Ronaldo's contract includes a £750,000 bonus for reaching 20 goals plus a further £100,000 for his hat-trick strike.

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 £1million and Ronaldo seems almost certain to achieve that accolade given that he is 12 goals ahead of his closest challenger Bruno Fernandes.

Furthermore, Ronaldo would receive around £2.75million in total payments if he manages to reach 30 goals this season.

Although he has received some criticism at times since returning to United last year, 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.
