Ronaldo reached the top from the times he cried at MU
Ruud van Nistelrooy reveals Cristiano Ronaldo's incredible rise to become the best player in the world during his time at Manchester United.
Van Nistelrooy, one of the "Red Devils" top strikers, was at Old Trafford when the team recruited Cristiano Ronaldo in 2003. At that time, the Portuguese superstar was just a potential boy.
The early days were not easy for Ronaldo. According toGoal, the tense arguments on the training ground with Van Nistelrooy often made Ronaldo cry.
However, CR7 never gave up. He always took every opportunity to improve himself, pursuing perfection with a relentless spirit - which helps the player maintain a high level of performance at the age of 40. Currently, the Portuguese legend is still the leader of Al Nassr and the national team.
Van Nistelrooy was not surprised by Ronaldo's illustrious and enduring career. The former Dutch striker revealed: "I have seen many talented young players, but the way Ronaldo stepped into the MU dressing room and developed in just 3 years to become the best player in the world, that is the greatest progress I have ever seen."
Ronaldo won the Champions League and his first Ballon d'Or with Manchester United, before continuing his journey to conquer the world, becoming the greatest goalscorer in history. At 40, his ambition is not over. Ronaldo aims to reach 1,000 goals before retiring.
Maguire shines, MU makes a comeback in the 90+3 minute
Early morning of February 8, MU struggled to defeat Leicester 2-1 in the 4th round of the FA Cup at Old Trafford.
After two easy matches in the Premier League and League Cup, MU was expected to extend their winning streak against Leicester at home, when the two teams met again in the FA Cup. However, Ruben Amorim could not replicate what Ruud Van Nistelrooy did against the "Foxes".
Amorim's MU disappointed when Leicester took the initiative in the first half.
After a poor first half, MU went all out by sending Alejandro Garnacho and Joshua Zirkzee in to replace Patrick Dorgu and Kobbie Mainoo. Garnacho's appearance immediately helped the home team's attack improve.
After a series of stirring situations on the left wing, Garnacho sparked the situation leading to the "Red Devils" equalizer.
It seemed like the match would go into extra time, but MU unexpectedly found the second goal from a set piece in the 90+3 minute. After Bruno's cross, Maguire headed the ball powerfully, giving goalkeeper Hermansen no chance to block.
MU had their third consecutive victory over Leicester this season, thereby becoming the first team to enter the 5th round of the FA Cup.
