Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro (born 5 February 1985) is a Portuguese footballer who plays as a winger for English Premier League club Manchester United and the Portuguese national team. He is 23 years old.
Ronaldo became Manchester United's first-ever Portuguese player when he signed for £12.24 million after the 2002–03 season. He requested the number 28 (his number at Sporting), as he did not want the pressure of living up to the expectation linked to the number 7 shirt, which had previously been worn by players such as George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona, and David Beckham. "After I joined, the manager asked me what number I'd like. I said 28. But Ferguson said 'No, you're going to have No. 7,' and the famous shirt was an extra source of motivation. I was forced to live up to such an honour."
Cristiano Ronaldo received the Ballon D'Or award in Paris in 2008.
The Manchester United player was voted the winner of the award after his exploits last season, which saw him claim a Premier League and Champions League double and hit 42 goals for his club.
On 8 January 2009, Manchester United superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo, completely wrecked his $300K Ferrari in a Manchester Airport tunnel.
He apparently lost control of the car in the tunnel, hit the wall and sent parts of the barrier separating the two-way tunnel across lanes.
Ronnie, surprisingly, was able to get himself out of that mangled mess!
And after the crash madness, Ronnie attended a Manchester United practice session!
What dedication.
Someone's guardian angel worked overtime today!
