My first domestic League, my first Cup, my first call to the Portuguese National team, my first Champions League, my first Golden Boot and my first Ballon d’Or, they were all born from this special connection between me and the Red Devils.

Throughout all this time, it was Sir Alex Ferguson manning the sidelines for Manchester United. Ferguson managed the Red Devils from 1986-2013 and became the longest-serving manager in club history.

Cristiano Ronaldo wound up leaving Man U for Real Madrid in 2009 before heading to Juventus in 2018. But now the 36-year-old is back with the Red Devils for what we assume will be the end of his club career, which would make it the perfect bookend for the superstar.
