KEY POINTS:
Cristiano Ronaldo, who has emerged as a candidate to become England's Footballer of the Year this season, has yet to hit his peak, according to his Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson.
Just six months after being English soccer's "Public Enemy No.1" for the part he played in Wayne Rooney's sending off when England played Portugal in the World Cup, Ronaldo has been a key figure in helping United establish a four-point lead at the top of the Premier League.
He has scored 10 goals this season, and both his approach play and recent scoring form have been mesmerising.
But Ferguson has warned United's pursuers that there is still more to come from the Portugal international, who he already rates as among the best players in the world.
