CR7 in Manchester United
Ronaldo arrived in Manchester as the first Portuguese to sign for United, and at £12.24 million, he became the most expensive teenage player that time. As he requested for No. 28, which he wore at Sporting, he received No. 7.
Cristiano had his manager, Alex Ferguson, by his side during his development as a champion at Manchester United. He later said, “He’s been my father in sport, one of the most important and influential factors in my career.
Ronaldo also had his share of incidents, one of such events during the World Cup-2006 involving United teammate Wayne Rooney getting red. This affected Cristiano, but surprisingly the positive effect of this fall out, was his improved temperament and scoring ability. He went on to score 17, a record-breaking 31 and 18 goals during his last three Premier league campaigns.
