About C.Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo is the most
expensive player in football history
after moving from Manchester United
to Real Madrid in a transfer deal worth
80 million pounds. Ronaldo spent his
early years playing for his local team,
Nacional, and by the time he turned
12 years old, he already made his
name for himself as one of Madeira's
top soccer player. It wasn't long
before he started to catch the
attention of other big Portuguese
clubs. Among them were Porto and
Boavista, however he eventually chose
to play for Sporting which was a team
he followed while growing up. He was
then spotted by former Liverpool
manager, Gerard Houllier at the age
of sixteen but Liverpool had no
intentions to sign him at that time
because they thought he was too
young and he needed more time to
develop his skills. However, in the
summer of 2003, when Sporting
played against Manchester United and
defeated them, Ronaldo caught the
attention of Manchester United
manager, Sir Alex Ferguson. Ronaldo
earned his first cap for Portugal in
2003 and became Manchester
United's first-ever Portuguese player
when he signed for them after the
2002–03 season. In the 2006-2007
season, Ronaldo broke the 20-goal
barrier for the first time and picked up
his first league title with Manchester
United. In 2007, Ronaldo won PFA
Young Player of the Year, PFA Player of
the Year, PFA Fans' Player of the Year,
Portuguese Footballer of the Year,
FWA Footballer of the Year, Sir Matt
Busby Player of the Year and
Manchester United's Players' Player of
the Year. Ronaldo won the Premier
League Golden Boot in 2007–08,
European Golden Shoe in 2007–08,
2010–11, FIFA World Player of the Year
in 2008.
