The inside story of 'genius' Cristiano Ronaldo at Man Utd | BBC Sport

[itsmegee]

Imagine training for a training session. This man deserves to be where he is in the football world.

[chrisklitou]

Ronaldo at Utd from 2007-2009 was the greatest player I've ever seen in the PL

He was fast, agile, could score from distance, dangerous in the air and would score 90% of his FK

He was the reason that Utd in 2007-2009 won

1 league cup
3 PL
1 UCL

as an Arsenal fan, i have nothing but tremendous respect and admiration for this guy. Both as an Athlete and as a human being...

[hamzah]

"he's not built on being really really strong, it's about being powerful and where does power come from?
up here!"

[iandeeley]

Ah, the early days of Ronaldo were very beneficial for my team, Manchester United!

Just hearing the admiration he had for Cristiano is so inspiring. Regardless of the messi and ronaldo debate, you can never debate his work ethic, his hunger, desire and unbelievable ability. Viva Ronaldo🇾🇪

I don't think we'll ever see such a skilled player in the premiere league
I still get surprised when I think that one of the greatest of all time winger is now one of the greatest striker

[ackhmezchady]

Manchester united Cristiano Ronaldo was something else man. Those skills, tricks, step overs, free kicks, goals and motm performance week in and week out. The premier league will not witness anything like this anytime soon.
