“Ronaldo opened up English football for Portuguese players. Now there are a lot of Portuguese players in the Premier League and the Championship.”
During Ronaldo's six-year tenure with the Red Devils, he established himself as one of the best Premier League players.
The 38-year-old scored 118 goals in 292 appearances, winning nine major trophies, including the highest personal honour — the Ballon d'Or in 2008.
