Manchester United signed him from Sporting Lisbon after he ran them ragged in a pre-season friendly in 2003. Won three successive Premier League titles and a Champions League at Old Trafford and has secured his place as one of the greatest players – and most prolific goalscorers – of all time, adding four more Champions League titles with Real Madrid and five FIFA Ballon d'Or wins. Three years at Juventus yielded two Serie A titles, before a return to Manchester United ended sourly following an explosive TV interview. Became the best-paid player in history after joining Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr. Also captained Portugal to Euro 2016 glory, before becoming the all-time record scorer in men's internationals.
