"If you don’t learn from guys like that, you’re an imbecile": Cristiano Ronaldo on his four Manchester Untied teammates

Cristiano Ronaldo has named four Manchester United players he learned from when playing at Old Trafford. Ronaldo joined the Red Devils from Sporting Lisbon in 2003. The Juventus striker admits he has learned a lot from his teammates. He told France Football: "By using my brain. If you’ve got a little intelligence, you look and take an example from those who are doing things better than you. That’s what I did when I was in Manchester with Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Rio Ferdinand - if you don’t learn from guys like that, you’re an imbecile. The goal isn’t to imitate but to take aspects from those who are the best and adapt it to your own personality. That’s what I did. I had some talent and I watched them. Sir Alex Ferguson also taught me a lot, and I realised I had the potential to score, not only dribble and pass. I started to think of being a complete player without any weakness. I could score with my right foot, my left foot and my head. I’m strong and I’m quick. If you have this and a real ethic and a good lifestyle, you can still do it at 34-and-a-half."
