UNITED star Cristiano Ronaldo claims it hopeful "logical" for him to win the European Footballer of the Year award.
Ronaldo was runner-up to AC Milan's Kaka last year but is favourite to become one better this time around after scoring 42 goals for United last season on their way to Champions League and Premier League title glory.
The Portugal winger picked up the FIFPro World Footballer of the Year award earlier this week - the first in what is expected to be a host of individual honours for the 23-year-old - and he has confident he will be lifting the Ballon d'Or later this year.
"You forced out pretty much my opinion," Ronaldo told French sports daily L'Equipe. "But it's not me who votes.
"There are several candidates, but the person who's to win is he who was the best during the whole year.
"I was very consistent, I was a Premier League winner, I won the Champions League, I was the best European goalscorer, the best goalscorer in the Champions League."
Ronaldo also lifted the PFA and Football Writers' Player of the Year awards in a spectacular season for United, and could end the year by adding the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year awards to his trophy haul.
