Cristiano Ronaldo
was signed from Portuguese outfit Sporting Lisbon in August 2003,
and has immediately become one of the bright lights of European
football. The nifty-footed Portuguese attacker impressed during a
friendly , in which he played against United. Match report for this
game can be found
here.
Ronaldo has become
part of Sir Alex's 'nurturing' scheme which has produced players
such as Giggs. The teenager is expected to become one of the world's
best players very soon, packing the punch into United's attack.
Ronaldo said he
hoped to succeed despite the pressure of becoming the most expensive
teenager in British football after signing for £12.2m.
"It's a great joy
but it's a great responsiblity," he said. "I hope to answer
everything that's asked of me. I hope everyone is very proud of me.
"This is the
greatest club in the world and that's why I chose the club."
After an impressive
opening to Ronaldo's Old Trafford career, we here at ManUtdWeb hope
to see him help win many trophy campaigns.
