Ronaldo kickstarted his footballing career with Sporting CP Lisbon before moving to Manchester United in 2003. Although the Portuguese talisman played for the club only for a year, he continues to remain one of their heroes. Reports recently claimed that the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has enrolled his children in a local school and acquired a new mansion in nearby Cascais.

"About Cristiano Ronaldo, it is important to preserve the historic and unique legacy that Ronaldo will leave to world sport, whether you like it or not. I see Cristiano Ronaldo as the best Portuguese footballer of all time, one of the best in world football. He'll always be the flagship of Sporting. The Academy bears his name. We are proud to have trained the best Portuguese player of all time," Varandas said.
