Sure, Ronaldo is recognized today as the greatest Real Madrid star. But, before his career began here, he was a member of the English team, Manchester United. After several years at his youth club Sporting Lisbon, Ronaldo joined Manchester United in the year 2003, as the most expensive teenager of his time to join the club. His journey as the no. 7 player began here.

Joining Manchester United not only gave Ronaldo a new start, but also changed his life in a different way; he came under the mentorship of  ManU manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, who had first noticed young Ronaldo in August 2003, when he contributed to Sporting’s win against Manchester United. In fact, Ferguson himself took the initiative to bring Ronaldo to his club. Thus began their incredible journey together.

Even after Ronaldo left Manchester United to join Real Madrid in 2009, the beautiful bond and relationship between Ronaldo and Ferguson didn’t take a backseat. While speaking about his former manager, Ronaldo once said, “He’s been my father in sport, one of the most important and influential factors in my career.”

Ferguson, too, has always spoken highly of CR7. He once said, “I have nothing but praise for the boy. He is easily the best player in the world. His contribution as a goal threat is unbelievable. His stats are incredible. Strikes at goal, attempts on goal, raids into the penalty box, headers. It is all there.”

It’s these beautiful moments and relationships that make football even more wonderful. Let’s hope they keep loving and respecting each other forever.
