Biography:
Cristiano Ronaldo became Manchester United's newest young hero when he signed from Sporting Lisbon in August 2003 and was immediately given David Beckham's number 7 shirt.
The Portuguese teenager is expected to become one of the world's best players in years to come, but will be trying to offer support to Ruud van Nistelrooy as soon as possible.
Hailed by Sir Alex Ferguson as the most outstanding young talent in Europe, Cristiano Ronaldo is skilful, he has got an awful lot of talent and he can open people up. So much is his adoration for the Portuguese that the Man Utd manager had no hesitation in handing this tricky and unpredictable winger the No7 shirt vacated by David Beckham in summer 2003.
Among his main characteristics there are: terrific physique, balance, pace, two feet and he`s technically terrific. Also he`s got a fantastic personality and great strength of mind.
Born in Madeira in August 1985, Ronaldo joined Sporting Clube de Portugal from CD Nacional in 1997. Made his debut for the Lisbon club against Internazionale FC in the 2002/03 UEFA Champions League third qualifying round, and went on make 25 appearances - starting eleven of them - in his only season at Sporting. Joined United on 13 August 2003 - the same day as Kleberson - for €17.5m, a world-record fee for a teenager.
Ronaldo is in the mold of a past Manchester United winger, by the name of George Best. Ronaldo is as comfortable on the left as he is on the right side of the pitch.
Cristiano Ronaldo produced a performance to remember at the Millennium Stadium as Manchester United claimed a record 11th FA Cup win in 2004.
Ronaldo tortured the Millwall defence with a mesmerising display of wing wizardry that the First Division side simply could not handle.
Played an important role in Portugal's run to the finals of Euro 2004. Ended the tournament with 2 goals and 2 assists.
