This was one name that everyone knew they would see on the list, and for good reason. Signed by Ferguson from Sporting CP as an 18-year-old after having impressed the Scotsman in a friendly, Ronaldo’s explosive pace and wide array of tricks saw him instantly become a favourite at Old Trafford.
An exquisite striker of the ball, Ronaldo truly came to life in the 2006/07 season, scoring 23 goals from the wing, helping United to their first league titles in four years and became the first player to win all four PFA and FWA honours in a single season.
