There was a lot of talk regarding Cristiano Ronaldo's future at Manchester United following the team's Champions League exit at the hands of Atletico Madrid. There was also the impending prospect that the Red Devils might not qualify for the Champions League next season.

The Telegraph reports that despite this very real situation, Ronaldo has decided to commit himself to the club for the coming season.

Ronaldo silenced his critics with a sensational hat trick against Tottenham Hotspur, ending an eight-game goal drought in the Premier League and making him the all-time leading FIFA goal scorer, surpassing Josef Bican's record.

Under Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, the Portuguese striker returned to Old Trafford for a second term, and although making a sensational return in front of his home fans, things swiftly fell apart as the team's results went from terrible to embarrassing.

In 33 games for Manchester United this season, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 18 goals, demonstrating that despite his age of 37, he is still a potent goal-scorer. United's next manager will have to figure out how to make use of him without jeopardizing the team's overall approach, and it will be the most difficult task of all for him to accomplish.
