Cristiano has been receiving many good wishes and remarks with his recent success stories at United. Guiding United for last season’s premier league title and his perception with Portugal has made him place in list of this year’s “EUROPEAN FOOTBALLER.”
The list includes four other United star namely Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs, Cristiano Ronaldo, Carlos Tevez and Paul Scholes.Cristiano and Kaka are marked as top aces to win this year’s footballer of the year award.Though its Kaka who stands better chances of winning after playing decisive games with AC MILAN’s triumph at UFEA, he still thinks Cristiano stands a better and worthy chance of winning this award.Kaka thinks it more obvious for Ronaldo saying
“I would vote for Cristiano as the best in the world.
Further proving his point he added saying “It is not just for his quality, but also as he has been able to do so well with Portugal. Lionel Messi is also a great player, but he has not won any titles this year.”
Last season saw Cristiano win three major trophies including player of the season award.It has been long since any United player won this trophy.The last one for any United to recieve such honour was by George Best back in 1968 before that Sir Bobby Charlton in 1966 and it was Denis Law in 1964 won this award.
