CRISTIANO RONALDO'S QUOTES

"I would be very proud if, one day, I'm held in the same esteem as George Best or Beckham. It's what I'm working hard towards."

"Lots of young players have triumphed at United, so why can't it happen to me? I'm not worried I'm young - it's an incentive to do the best I can."

"The No 7 shirt is an honor and a responsibility. I hope it brings me a lot of luck."

"I am very happy to be signing for the best team in the world and especially proud to be the first Portuguese player to join United."

"I was saluted by Alex Ferguson when I was subbed and that made me very happy."

"I'm living a dream I never want to wake up from."

"Now we're in the final we must win, and can't think the job is over. We'll give everything and we're convinced we can do it."

“There is no harm in dreaming of becoming the world’s best player. It is all about trying to be the best. I will keep working hard to achieve it but it is within my capabilities.”
