Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo was born on February 5, 1985, in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal.
Manchester United paid £12 million to sign him in 2003 - a record fee for a player of his age. In
the 2004 FA Cup Final, he scored Manchester's first three goals and helped them capture the
championship. In 2008, he set a franchise record for goals scored. In 2009, Real Madrid paid a
record $131 million for his service.
It was through his dad's work as an equipment manager at a boy's club that Ronaldo was
first introduced to the game of soccer. By the time he was 10 years old, he was already
recognized as a phenomenon - a kid who ate, slept and drank the game. "All he wanted to do as a
boy was playing football," his godfather, Fernao Sousa, recalled for British reporters, adding,
"He loved the game so much that he'd miss meals or escape out his bedroom window with a ball
when he was supposed to be doing his homework."
By his early teens, Ronaldo's talent and legend had grown considerably. After a stint with
Nacional da liha da Madeira, he signed with Sporting Portugal in 2001. That same year, at the
tender age of 16, Ronaldo turned heads with a impressing performance against Manchester
United, wowing even his opponents with his footwork and deft skill. He made such an
impression that a number of United players asked their manager to try and sign the young player.
It wasn't long before the club paid Ronaldo's team more than £12 million for his services - a
record fee for a player of his age.
14. What was Ronaldo action for MU in year 2004?
A. Signed new contract
B. Scored goals to Real Madrid
