Early life
Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro was born on 5 February 1985 in Funchal,Madeira,the youngest child of Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro and Jos茅 Dinis Aveiro.His second given name,"Ronaldo," was chosen after then-U.S.president Ronald Reagan,who was his father's favourite actor.He has one older brother,Hugo,and two older sisters,Elma and Liliana C谩tia.
Club career
Early career
At the age of eight,Ronaldo played for amateur team Andorinha,where his father was the kit man.In 1995,Ronaldo signed with local club CD Nacional,and,after a title-winning campaign,he went on a three-day trial with Sporting CP,who subsequently signed him for an undisclosed sum.
Sporting CP
Ronaldo joined Sporting's other youth players who trained at the Alcochete,the club's football academy.He became the only player ever to play for Sporting's U-16,U-17,U-18,B-team,and first team,all within one season.He scored two goals in his Sporting debut against Moreirense,while featuring for Portugal in the UEFA Under 17 Championships.
When he was 15,Ronaldo was diagnosed with a racing heart,a condition that might have forced him to give up playing football.The Sporting staff were made aware of the condition and Ronaldo's mother gave her authorisation for him to go into hospital.While there,he had an operation in which a laser was used to cauterise the area of his heart that was causing the problem.The surgery took place in the morning and Ronaldo was discharged from hospital by the end of the afternoon; he resumed training only a few days later.
He was first spotted by then-Liverpool manager G茅rard Houllier at 16,but Liverpool declined to take him on because they decided he was too young and needed some time to develop his skills.However,he came to the attention of Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson in the summer of 2003,when Sporting defeated United 3鈥?in the inauguration of the Est谩dio Jos茅 Alvalade in Lisbon.Ronaldo's performance impressed the Manchester United players,who urged Ferguson to sign him.

Ronaldo with Manchester UnitedRonaldo became Manchester United's first-ever Portuguese player when he signed for 锟斤拷12.24 million after the 2002鈥?3 season.He requested the number 28 (his number at Sporting),as he did not want the pressure of living up to the expectation linked to the number 7 shirt,which had previously been worn by players such as George Best,Bryan Robson,Eric Cantona,and David Beckham."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."
Ronaldo made his team debut as a 60th-minute substitute in a 4-0 home victory over Bolton Wanderers.He scored his first goal for Manchester United with a free kick in a 3鈥?win over Portsmouth on 1 November 2003.He scored United's thousandth Premier League goal on 29 October 2005 in a 4鈥?loss to Middlesbrough.He scored ten goals in all competitions,and fans voted him to his first FIFPro Special Young Player of the Year award in 2005.

Ronaldo amassed a host of personal awards for the season.He won the PFA Players' Player of the Year and PFA Young Player of the Year awards,joining Andy Gray (in 1977) as the only players to receive this honour.In April,he completed the treble by winning the PFA Fans' Player of the Year.Ronaldo was also one of seven Manchester United players named in the 2006鈥?7 PFA Premier League Team of the Year.

On 19 March 2008,Ronaldo captained United for the first time in his career in a home win over Bolton,scoring both goals in the 2鈥?victory.The second of the goals was his 33rd of the campaign,which set a new club single-season scoring record by a midfielder and thus topped George Best's forty-year-old total of 32 goals in the 1967鈥?8 season.Ronaldo scored another brace in a 4鈥?win over Aston Villa on 29 March,which at the time gave him 35 goals in 37 domestic and European matches as both a starter and substitute.Ronaldo's torrid scoring streak was rewarded with his becoming the first winger to win the 2007鈥?8 European Golden Shoe,finishing eight points ahead of Mallorca's Dani G眉iza.
