Cristiano Ronaldo has set his sights on becoming the first player to win three straight Barclays Premiership player of the month awards.

Ronaldo joined an elite club containing just Robbie Fowler and Dennis Bergkamp when he collected back-to-back awards for his performances in November and December.

And now the 21-year-old wants to rewrite the Premiership record books by stringing together another set of dazzling performances in January.

"To be player of the month three times in a row? I work for it, because that means I'm helping the team and that's my ultimate goal," Ronaldo told the Manchester Evening News.

"Who knows, it might happen again. Anything is possible.

"I feel quite happy to have won the two awards. What makes it better is knowing that only a couple of players have succeeded in doing that.

"That gives me enough motivation to go on working and keeps my spirits high.

"United are in a good situation. We want to keep this way and not start thinking about Chelsea, only on what we have to do. I believe this year we are going to be champions."
