The five-time Ballon d’Or medalist began his senior club career with Sporting CP before joining Manchester United at the age of 18 in 2003, winning the FA Cup in his first season.
He went on to win three Premier League championships in a row, the Champions League, and the FIFA Club World Cup.
Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro was born in the parish of So Pedro in Funchal, the capital of the Portuguese island of Madeira, and grew up in the parish of Santo António nearby.
He is the fourth and youngest child of chef Maria Dolores dos Santos Viveiros da Aveiro and municipal gardener and part-time kit man José Dinis Aveiro.
Ronaldo’s mother stated that she intended to abort him due to poverty, his father’s inebriation, and already having too many children, but her doctor refused.
