EARLY LIFE
Cristiano Ronaldo began his career as a member of his hometown team, Nacional, till the age of 12. His excellent performance drew the attention of Portugal's leading teams.

In 31 games for Sporting CP, Ronaldo scored 5 goals and added 6 assists for a total of 11 goals contribution.
Ronaldo's outstanding performance at sporting cp attracted most of the world's top football clubs, particularly in England. The young skilled Portuguese was seen by Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United. Arsene Wenger, Arsenal's head coach at the time, met him and a deal was on the verge of being completed. After failing to reach an agreement with Arsenal, Ronaldo examined other options. In a pre season game against Manchester United, Ronaldo drew the attention of Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson. The Portuguese football team defeated the European giant by three goals to one, thanks to Ronaldo's efforts.
RONALDO TO MANCHESTER UNITED
Ronaldo joined Manchester United for a cost of £12.4 million on August 12, 2003. Ronaldo was the most expensive teenager in football history at the moment. Ronaldo desired number 28 but was given number 7 by the club. Because of the renowned names behind the number, such as David Beckham, George Best, and Eric Cantona, the jersey number motivated the young talented Portuguese.

THE MOVE TO REAL MADRID

Because Raul, the club's legend, wore the number 7, Ronaldo began his Madrid career wearing the number 9. Raul left the club after a year and Ronaldo was given the number 7 jersey.
