==Career==
===Early career===
He began kicking a football when he was three, and when he started primary school at age six, his passion for the sport was obvious. His favourite boyhood team was [[SL Benfica]] even though he would later join their rival, [[Sporting Clube de Portugal|Sporting]]. He first played for an amateur team, [[Andorinha]], where his father was the kit man, when he was just eight years old. By 1995, at just ten years of age, Cristiano Ronaldo's reputation was growing in Portugal. [[Madeira]]'s top two teams, [[CS Marítimo]] and [[CD Nacional]] were both interested in signing him. Marítimo, the bigger team, missed a crucial meeting with Rui Santos, Ronaldo's manager at Andorinha, and as a result, Ronaldo signed for Nacional. After a title-winning campaign at Nacional, Ronaldo went on a three day trial with [[Sporting Clube de Portugal|Sporting]] who subsequently signed him for an undisclosed sum.<ref name="about.com">{{cite news |url=http://worldsoccer.about.com/od/soccerprofiles/p/cronaldo.htm |title=Profile of Ronaldo at about.com |publisher=about.com |accessdate= }}</ref>
===Sporting Clube de Portugal===
Ronaldo joined Sporting's other youth players who trained at the Alcochete, the club's "football factory," where he received first-class instruction. In his first few months in Lisbon, he had to defend himself from the rest of the local players as they had taunted him over his Madeiran accent. A growth spurt had also obstructed his progress at the club. However, Ronaldo eventually went on to become the only player in Sporting’s history to play for the Under-16, Under-17, Under-18, B team and first-team within a season.<ref name="titans">{{cite news |url=http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/manchester_united/s/1005/1005391_clash_of_the_titans.html |title=Clash of the titans |publisher=manchestereveningnews.com |accessdate= }}</ref> Sporting realised that Ronaldo needed more support and arranged for his mother to join him. He scored two goals on his Sporting debut against [[Moreirense]]. He also featured for Portugal in the [[UEFA Under 17 Championships]].<ref name="u17">{{cite news |url=http://www.uefau17.com/history/index.htm |title=Famous players featured in U17 c'ships |publisher=uefau17.com |accessdate= }}</ref>
His performances at the UEFA Under 17 championship drew him to the attention of the wider football world. He was first spotted by former [[Liverpool F.C.]] manager [[Gérard Houllier]] at the age of 16. However, Liverpool later declined him because he was too young and needed some time to develop into a top footballer.<ref name="cr101">{{cite news |url=http://cristianoronaldo101.com/cristiano-ronaldo-profile-and-biography/ |title=Cristiano Ronaldo Profile & Biography |publisher=cristianoronaldo101.com |accessdate=2007-04-16 }}</ref> However, he came to the attention of Sir [[Alex Ferguson]] in the summer of 2003, when Sporting beat Manchester United 3-1 in the inauguration of the [[Estádio José Alvalade|Alvalade XXI]] stadium in Lisbon. Ronaldo demonstrated his ability to play on both wings. His performance in the match impressed the Manchester United players, who spoke to their manager about a possible transfer bid for Ronaldo.<ref name="crwc">{{cite news |url=http://www.wldcup.com/euro/2004/players_present/472_cristiano_ronaldo_dos_santos_aveiros.html |title=Cristiano Ronaldo Profile at world cup soccer |publisher=wldcup.com | }}</ref>
===Manchester United===
Ferguson decided that he wanted Ronaldo for his team, who were in the market for a right-sided midfielder with the departure of [[David Beckham]] to [[Real Madrid]]; Ronaldo was signed for a fee of £12.24 million,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://home.skysports.com/player.aspx?plid=14937&clid=1&cpid=8 |title=Cristiano Ronaldo |accessdate=2007-06-18 |publisher=Sky Sports }}</ref> becoming the club's first ever Portuguese player. Ronaldo was handed the number 7 shirt on his arrival, a shirt number that has belonged to some of the greatest Manchester United legends, such as [[George Best]], [[Bryan Robson]], [[Eric Cantona]] and [[David Beckham]]. Ronaldo initially asked for the number 28 which he wore at Sporting, as he did not want the pressure of living up to the expectation linked to the number 7 shirt.
''"After I joined, the manager asked me what number I'd like. I said 28. But Ferguson said 'no, you're going to have No. 7' and the famous shirt was an extra source of motivation. I was forced to live up to such an honour".''<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2007160696,00.html |title=I never wanted the No7 shirt |publisher=The Sun |date=[[2007-04-12]] |accessdate=2007-04-16}}</ref>
[[Image:Cristiano Ronaldo.jpg|thumb|Ronaldo playing for [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]]]]
Ronaldo made his debut for Manchester United as a 60th minute substitute against [[Bolton Wanderers F.C.|Bolton Wanderers]] at Old Trafford, a 4-0 Manchester United win. On [[29 October]], [[2005]], Ronaldo scored Manchester United's 1000th [[Premier League]] goal, in a 4-1 loss at the hands of [[Middlesbrough F.C.|Middlesbrough]]. He bagged a double double in February, with two goals at home to [[Fulham F.C.|Fulham]] and another pair at [[Fratton Park]], and also scored in the following Premier League game against [[Wigan Athletic F.C.|Wigan]] taking his tally to 8 Premier League goals. On [[26 February]], [[2006]], Ronaldo played in the [[Football League Cup|Carling Cup]] Final against Wigan in the [[Millennium Stadium]] at Cardiff, and scored a goal - taking his season's tally to 10 goals. He was named [[FIFPro Special Young Player of the Year]] 2005, the only award to be voted for by fans. He received the same accolade the following year in 2006. He was also ranked 20th in the [[FIFA Player of the Year]] 2005 standings.
In 2006, a row between him and [[Ruud van Nistelrooy]] at the Carrington training ground intensified speculation about their roles at the club.<ref>{{cite news |title=van Nistelrooy plays down rumours of Ronaldo dispute |url=http://sport.independent.co.uk/football/internationals/article1095808.ece |author=Simon Stone |publisher=The Independent |date=2006-06-23 |accessdate=2006-07-11 }}</ref> However, Ronaldo signed a new deal with United that would last until 2010. Ronaldo said of the deal, ''"United have stood by me and been there for me and I want to repay that".''<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.givemefootball.com/display.cfm?area=fansplayermonthnews |title=Ronaldo's top dog in the Premier League - and there are monthly awards for Convey, Carey and Hawley too |publisher=GiveMeFootball.com |date=[[2006-04-03]] |accessdate=2006-07-11 }}</ref>
Despite the [[#World Cup incident|World Cup incident]], Ronaldo remained popular with the Manchester United faithful when he played (and scored) in his first Premier League match since the 2006 World Cup. Manchester United fans could clearly be heard chanting "there's only one Ronaldo" at various points in the game, in a 5-1 win over [[Fulham F.C.]]. He won the [[FA Premier League Player of the Month|Barclays Player of the Month]] for November 2006. By December 2006, Ronaldo had become one of United's most influential players, scoring six goals in three league games to bring his overall tally up to 12 goals. He came on at half-time as a substitute against [[Wigan Athletic]] and immediately stamped his influence on the match with 2 goals in the space of a few minutes. Manchester United manager [[Alex Ferguson|Sir Alex Ferguson]] concedes he would lose his wager with the Portuguese in his current form after setting a target of 15 goals for the season. The Scot remarked that he was ''"pleased for him because he works hard at his game. He's still learning the game. His ability to pass the ball has helped him this season. His passing has been very good. That just shows he is maturing. He's been fantastic, and he's getting better all the time".''<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.manutd.com/default.sps?pagegid=%7BB4CEE8FA%2D9A47%2D47BC%2DB069%2D3F7A2F35DB70%7D&newsid=390806 |title=Sir Alex: Ron will win bet |publisher=Manutd.com |date=[[2006-12-30]] |accessdate=2006-12-31 }}</ref> In December, he was awarded the [[FA Premier League Player of the Month|Barclays Player of the Month Award]] for the second successive month, becoming the third ever player in the Premier League to do so (after Arsenal's [[Dennis Bergkamp]] in 1997 and [[Robbie Fowler]] in 1996).<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.inthenews.co.uk/news/autocodes/world-cup-teams/brazil/ronaldo-lands-back-back-accolades-$1040247.htm |title=Ronaldo lands back-to-back accolades |publisher=inthenews.com |accessdate=2007-01-12 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/6252317.stm |title=Ronaldo wins monthly award again |accessdate= |publisher=BBC Sport }}</ref> Ronaldo scored his 50<sup>th</sup> goal for [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] in the game against arch-rivals [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]] which turned out to be the decisive goal which helped Manchester United claim the Premier League title for the first time in 4 years.
As the end of each season approached, particularly in 2006 and 2007, it became traditional for rumours to start floating that Ronaldo was unsettled at Manchester United and wanted to play for [[Real Madrid]] - the rumours frequently originating from the board of Real Madrid who were reported in April 2007 to be willing to pay an unprecedented €80 million (£54 million) for Ronaldo.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,,2055111,00.html |title=Real ready to offer £54m to secure Ronaldo |publisher=The Guardian |date=[[2007-04-12]] |accessdate=2007-04-15 }}</ref> At the beginning of March 2007, however, Ronaldo, as well as Manchester United, confirmed that they would be negotiating an extension to his current contract. On [[13 April]] [[2007]], Ronaldo signed a five-year, £120,000-a-week deal with United, making him the highest-paid player in United's history.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premiership/manchester_united/article1652823.ece |title=Ferguson lets rip at Madrid after Ronaldo signs £31m deal |publisher=The Times |date=[[2007-04-14]] |accessdate=2007-04-16 }}</ref> He said, ''"I am very happy at the club and I want to win trophies and hopefully we will do that this season".''<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/6551679.stm |title=Ronaldo signs new deal at Man Utd |publisher=BBC Sport |date=[[2007-04-13]] |accessdate=2007-04-16 }}</ref>
During the [[Premier League 2006-07|2006-07]] season, Ronaldo won the [[PFA Players' Player of the Year]] and [[PFA Young Player of the Year]] awards. He received the two awards during a ceremony on the 22nd of April, 2007. In addition to winning the two awards (an accomplishment that has only been matched once - in [[1976-77 in English football|1977]] by [[Andy Gray (commentator)|Andy Gray]]),<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/6582201.stm |title=Ronaldo secures PFA awards double |publisher=BBC |date=[[2007-04-22]] |accessdate=2007-05-01 }}</ref> Ronaldo was also named a member of the [[PFA Team of the Year|PFA Premier League Team of the Year]], alongside seven of his fellow Manchester United teammates. On [[24 April]] [[2007]], Ronaldo completed the treble by winning the [[PFA Fans' Player of the Year]], an award which is given by winning the most votes from fans all over the United Kingdom. In addition, he was awarded the 2007 [[Portuguese Footballer of the Year]], and at the beginning of May 2007 Ronaldo was also awarded the [[Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year|Football Writers' Association Award]]. He also received two awards from the club itself, the Player of the Year award, and the Fans' Player of the Year award.
The 2006-07 was tainted with several diving incidents. During a match with [[Middlesbrough F.C.]], he was criticised for diving by rival manager [[Gareth Southgate]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/middlesbrough/6203634.stm |title=Ronaldo antics angers Southgate |publisher=BBC Sport |date=[[2006-12-03]] |accessdate=2006-02-11 }}</ref> On [[4 February]] [[2007]], in a match against [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.]], Ronaldo was caught in yet another diving controversy, after winning United a controversial penalty despite seeming to receive little or no contact from Tottenham's [[Steed Malbranque]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,,2006756,00.html |title=Diving row reopens FA debate over retrospective punishment |publisher=The Guardian |date=[[2007-02-06]] |accessdate=2007-02-11}}</ref>
Ronaldo has occasionally had problems with his temper during games. He was sent off in a game against Manchester City and received a one-match ban imposed by [[UEFA]] for a "[[Finger (gesture)|one-fingered gesture]]" towards [[SL Benfica|Benfica]] fans in a [[UEFA Champions League]] match in December 2005.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/4512908.stm |title=Ronaldo ban after finger gesture |publisher=BBC Sport |date=[[2006-02-03]] |accessdate=2006-07-11 }}</ref> While playing for Portugal in a friendly against [[Luxembourg national football team|Luxembourg]] he was given a yellow card for pushing [[Jeff Strasser]] in the throat in retaliation after Strasser tackled him.

Ronaldo's [[Premier League 2007-08|2007-08]] season started badly with the sending off at Portsmouth. However, in his first game following the ban Ronaldo scored the only goal in the 60th minute of a Champions League away game against [[Sporting Lisbon]] on return to his old club. He was given a standing ovation by the Sporting supporters for his muted celebrations following the goal. Following this match, Ronaldo has kept his goalscoring boots on in the away fixture against [[Birmingham City F.C.]] The goalscoring continued with a brace against [[Wigan Athletic F.C.]] Ronaldo contributed three goals in both the home and away fixtures against [[Dynamo Kiev]], a goal against [[Arsenal F.C.]] and another brace against [[Blackburn Rovers F.C.|Blackburn Rovers]].

==International career==
Ronaldo had previously played for Portugal at the 2002 UEFA European Under-17 Championship and at the U18 and U21 level.

Ronaldo scored Portugal's only goal in their 2-1 loss to [[Greece national football team|Greece]] in the opening match of [[2004 European Football Championship|Euro 2004]] and the first goal of the semi final against the [[Netherlands national football team|Netherlands]], which Portugal won 2-1. The final saw a rematch of the opening game of the tournament, with Greece once again emerging victorious. Even though Ronaldo could not add to his two goals, his performances at the tournament earned him a place in the team of the tournament.<ref name ="Ronaldo profile">{{cite news |title=Cristiano Ronaldo's profile|url=http://www.paktribune.com/sports/fifa2006/playerprofile.php?id=226 |publisher=4thegame.com |date= }}</ref>

Ronaldo was named the national team captain for the first time in a friendly match against [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] on [[February 6]] [[2007]], a day after his 22nd birthday. This move was in honour of the [[Portuguese Football Federation]] president, Carlos Silva, who had died two days before. [[Luiz Felipe Scolari|Scolari]] explained, "Mr. Silva asked me to make him captain as a gesture. He thought the English fans would give him a difficult time and this was a response. He is too young to be captain but Mr. Silva asked me and now he is no longer with us."<ref name ="Guardian captain">{{cite news |title=Scolari delighted with Portugal victory over Brazil |url=http://football.guardian.co.uk/breakingnews/feedstory/0,,-6398205,00.html |first=Mike |last=Collett |publisher=The Guardian |date= }}</ref>

===World Cup incident===
On [[8 July]] [[2006]], after the sending off of United team-mate [[Wayne Rooney]] for stamping on [[Ricardo Carvalho]] in the [[2006 FIFA World Cup#Quarter-finals|Quarter Final of the 2006 World Cup]] between [[England national football team|England]] and Portugal, there was much speculation in the English media that he had influenced Rooney's red card by complaining aggressively to the referee. He was also seen in replays [[wink]]ing to the Portuguese bench after Rooney's dismissal. Ronaldo has said that Rooney was a friend, and that he was not trying to get Rooney a red card.<ref>{{cite news |title=Ronaldo: I never asked for Rooney red card. |url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=373109 |author=Tim Spanton |publisher=The Sun |date=[[2006-07-02]] |accessdate=2006-07-10 }}</ref> Rooney said, "I bear no ill feeling to Cristiano but am disappointed that he chose to get involved. I suppose I do, though, have to remember that on that particular occasion we were not team-mates."<ref>{{cite news |title=Rooney Thanks Team-mates |url=http://worldcup.sportinglife.com/football/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/06/07/04/WORLDCUP_Rooney_Ronaldo.html |author=Matt Barlow |publisher=Sporting Life |date=[[2006-07-04]] |accessdate=2006-07-06 }}</ref> However, on [[4 July]], Elizondo told ''[[The Times]]'' that the red card was due to the stamp on Carvalho, and not the scuffle afterwards. He said "It was violent play and therefore he got a red card. People can say what they want (about Ronaldo) but this had absolutely no influence. For me it was a clear red card, so I didn't react to the Portuguese players."<ref>{{cite news |date=[[2006-07-04]] |url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=373212&cc=5739 |title=Ronaldo cleared over Rooney red card |work=[[Soccernet]] |accessdate=2006-11-17}}</ref>
''[[The Sun (newspaper)|The Sun]]'' published a dart board with a picture of Ronaldo as the bull's-eye in a similar fashion to the one made after the [[1998 World Cup]] for [[David Beckham]] by ''[[The Daily Mirror]]'', another English tabloid.<ref>{{cite news |title=Beckham gives up armband |url=http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/sports/14955082.htm |author=Luis Arroyave |publisher=The Chicago Tribune |date=[[2006-07-02]] |accessdate = 2006-07-10 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=British press bids Eriksson `good riddance' |url=http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/5754016 |author= |publisher=Associated Press |date=[[2006-07-02]] |accessdate=2006-07-10 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Give Ron one in the eye |url=http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2006300479,00.html |author=Tim Spanton |publisher=The Sun |date= |accessdate=2006-07-10 }}</ref> The angry reaction in England forced Ronaldo to consider leaving United.
