One of the two stand out footballers of this generation along with Lionel Messi, Ronaldo is one of the greatest players ever to play the beautiful game. Ronaldo spent six years at Manchester United and here is where he announced himself as one of the best footballers in the world.

Winner of three consecutive Premier League titles from 2006-2009, Ronaldo is arguably the most gifted player to ever play in the Premier League. The Portuguese superstar’s mazy runs and dribbles often left defenders flat-footed and it was for his amazing performances with Manchester United, that Ronaldo was awarded his first ballon d'Or award in 2008.

While Ronaldo today is already a legend at Real Madrid, he first made a name for himself as one of the game’s premier footballers during his time at Manchester United.
