Cristiano Ronaldo videos are currently proving very popular with football aficionados the world over. But just who is Cristiano Ronaldo?Cristiano Ronaldo burst onto the world scene in the highly regarded English Premier League in 2003. Just a few days earlier, Manchester United lost whilst playing an overseas match against Sporting Clube de Portugal. During this match, Sir Alex Ferguson's eye was drawn to this "wonderkid" of a player.
Fergie had not previously viewed any Cristiano Ronaldo videos, nor did he know much about this player. However, on the plane home after the match, several of United's players encouraged Fergie to quickly put in a bid for the youngster, lest any other teams find out about this unique talent and start a bidding war.
As Manchester United were in the market for a new winger (David Beckham had recently left), a quick bid of around £12 million was tabled and the deal quickly wrapped up.
The "other Ronaldo" was unveiled shortly thereafter at Old Trafford and introduced within days as a substitute against Bolton Wanderers. That day is recalled with fond memories by Manchester United supporters who remember how he completely baffled the other team with his perfectly timed feints and elaborate stepovers, often beating and going past up to three players at a time.
Since then, Ronaldo has shown that he is one of the world's most feared attackers. He can play on either wing and even as a supporting striker. As a midfielder, he scores many more goals than is the average for that position which is appreciated greatly by United as they have seen lean goalscoring periods in the past few years from some of their midfielders, whose contribution to goals is considered an important supplement to the regular staple produced by the orthodox strikers.
