  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Ronaldo spent eight years in the English top flight at Manchester United across two different stints. He made 236 appearances for United, scoring 103 goals and laying on 37 assists. The 39-year-old won the league three times with the Red Devils and bagged the Premier League Golden Boot award in the 2007-08 campaign.

  • WHAT GARY LINEKER SAID

    Speaking to The Times, Lineker said when asked to name the best ever Premier League player: "Well that was probably [Cristiano] Ronaldo because of what he went on to do. But, gosh, so many great players. You could have a debate just about midfielders and you’d go Gerrard and Scholes and Lampard and Keane and Vieira and so on and so forth."
