Not since Andy Gray scooped each of the coveted accolades 30 years ago has one player dominated the voting of his fellow professionals in such fashion.
Ronaldo, 22, has been in awesome form for United, as the Red Devils remain on course for a Barclays Premiership, FA Cup and Champions League treble.

The achievement is all the more remarkable considering the somewhat harsh criticism the Portugal winger received following England’s demise at the World Cup.
Ronaldo beat Chelsea striker Didier Drogba to the award, with United’s former England midfielder Paul Scholes third.
Ryan Giggs and last year’s winner, Steven Gerrard, also made the shortlist, alongside 19-year-old Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas.
Ronaldo said it was a "big honour" to be singled out by his peers.
He said: "It is a special night. It is amazing and a big honour for me to win trophies like this in the English Premier League. I am very proud.
"My colleagues have voted for me and that is fantastic because the players know the qualities of players.
"I want to keep working hard and getting better because these trophies have now given me more motivation.
"At this moment, I am consistent. I am more mature now and I am playing better.
"This great team has helped me as well, because when the team win it is more easy for us all to play with more confidence.
"Everything is right this season and I am really enjoying it.
"I am still young and I am learning more every day.
"I have much time to learn more and improve myself.
"I try to improve all aspects of my football - not only in training but also in games."
Fabregas finished runner-up in the young player category as well, with 20-year-old Tottenham Hotspur winger Aaron Lennon third.
Ronaldo’s team-mate Wayne Rooney (21) was also shortlisted, as were Reading striker Kevin Doyle, 23, and 18-year-old defender Micah Richards of Manchester City.
It was Manchester United who took centre stage at the Grosvenor House hotel - with eight of their players making it into the Premier League team of the year and manager Sir Alex Ferguson being honoured with the PFA Special Merit Award.
Ronaldo said: "This shows what quality we have at Manchester United.
"To have eight players in the team of the year is great."
Ferguson paid tribute to his multi-talented young winger, who joined United from Sporting Lisbon in a £12.24million deal during August 2003.
The United boss said: "When we saw him play in a pre-season friendly for Sporting against us, at half-time I knew we had to get him and I said to [then chief executive] Peter Kenyon 'we are not leaving the stadium until we get the boy'.
"At this moment in time, I think he is the best player in the world and his season has been incredible."

The Barclays Premiership gala awards dinner took place Sunday, with Manchester United being the winningest of clubs in the awards.  The Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) presents awards to players every year who have been voted on by their peers as the best player of the season.

The front runner for the senior PFA award has been United midfielder Cristiano Ronaldo, and players agreed as he was the top vote recipient. Didier Drogba finished second following his 31 goals for Chelsea.  Third place fell to Ronaldo's fellow Red Devil Paul Scholes, who has helped lead United only one year after a serious eye injury which could have ended his career.  Others in the running for the award were Cesc Fabregas of Arsenal, Ryan Giggs of Manchester United, and Steven Gerrard of Liverpool, who won the award last season.

In the young player PFA award Ronaldo again prevailed, as the 22 year old became only the second player in history to earn both awards in one year, the first being Andy Gray in 1977. Cesc Fabregas came second, while Aaron Lennon of Tottenham finished in third.  Wayne Rooney, who won the award the previous two years, was nominated as well along with Micah Richards of Manchester City and Kevin Doyle of Reading.

The Premiership team of the year was also announced, with eight Manchester United players being named.  Keeper Edwin Van Der Sar along with the entire back line all play for United. The back line is made up of Gary Neville at right back, Patrice Evra on the left, with Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic as central defenders.  Ronaldo was also on the team at right wing, with fellow PFA candidate Ryan Giggs on the left.  The central midfielders where named as Paul Scholes and Steven Gerrard.  Didier Drogba was named in the team as striker, along with Tottenham's Dimitar Berbatov, who has impressed greatly in his first year in the Premiership. 

The special merit award was also directed to Manchester United, as manager Sir Alex Ferguson picked up the award.

Upon winning the double, Ronaldo exclaimed that "It is a special night. It is amazing and a big honour for me to win trophies like this in the English Premier League. I am very proud." And continued  "My colleagues have voted for me and that is fantastic because the players know the qualities of players."

Manager Sir Alex Ferguson also commented on Ronaldo, saying  "At this moment in time, I think he is the best player in the world and his season has been incredible."
