It is anticipated Ronaldo will also scoop the Ballon D'Or and the FIFA World Player of the Year award, with the Portugal international - who has also been named in FifPro's world team of the year - keen to remain at Old Trafford for another couple of seasons at least.
''I insist that I am a Manchester United player and now I think that next year I will continue here,'' Ronaldo told Marca
Although Sir Alex Ferguson has twice been forced to intervene to keep Ronaldo at the club - immediately after the 2006 World Cup and last summer as Real Madrid made their bid to get him - the player seems committed to helping United win further honours, even if his lack of goal celebrations recently has been the subject of major debate.
Ronaldo admitted Ferguson played a huge part in his decision to commit his immediate future to the Red Devils following this summer's transfer speculation.
''He has been a key person. I respect him a lot, because it was him who signed me and he has played a very important part in all that I have won,'' said Ronaldo.
''In Lisbon I reached an agreement with him and it was decided that the best thing for all was to continue.
''He listened to my arguments and I listened to his. Now I understand that it was the correct decision. I am with Manchester United body and soul.''
